The Changing Experience of Childhood

"This book explores children's own accounts of family life after divorce and allows us to see these changes from their point of view. It provides a sociological perspective on how childhood may be changing and how the 'democratic' status of children in the family may be in the process of transformation. The implications for family and legal policy of listening to children's views are also set out." "The Changing Experience of Childhood will be of interest to all those in academic and public life concerned about the future of the family."--Jacket.
