子どもへの性加害は、心身に深い傷を残す卑劣な行為だ。

One hundred and ten years ago, Maria Montessori, the first female physician in Italy, devised a very different method of educating children, based on her observations of how they naturally learn. In Montessori, Angeline Stoll Lillard shows that science has finally caught up with Maria Montessori. Lillard presents the research behind nine insights that are foundations of Montessori education, describing how each of these insights is applied in the Montessori classroom.

A holiday classic by Charles Dickens. Originally published in 1843, Dickens worried about the disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished, and it was his attempt to bring this disparity into the light of day, to appeal to the die-hard capitalists to take care of the downtrodden masses. Since this inequity continues, this story is still popular, and will probably continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

Children are not passive victims of oppression, but their resistance and struggle for equality has been largely ignored by the wider social justice movement—until now. In this groundbreaking manifesto, Eloise Rickman argues that it's time to stop viewing children as less than adults and start fighting for their rights to be taken seriously. Radical, compassionate, and profoundly hopeful, this powerful new book signals the start of a long-overdue conversation about how we treat children. It's Not Fair is a call to embrace children’s liberation and the possibility of a better, fairer world.

The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character.

Heather Shumaker has sparked much discussion with her "renegade rules for raising competent and compassionate kids". In this follow-up book, she takes on new hot-button issues like banning homework, technology use, and skipping kindergarten. Shumaker offers broader guidance on how parents can control their own anger and move from an overscheduled life to one of more free play.

El continente asiático ha vivido en los últimos años la mayor, más rápida y exitosa transformación de la humanidad, sacando de la pobreza a cientos de millones de personas y mostrando al mundo que la miseria puede dejarse atrás. «Hijos del monzón» es la historia de quienes no han logrado subirse al tren de las oportunidades y que han sido a menudo aplastados por un modelo de sociedad que les ha hurtado la voz. Los niños, a pesar de las dificultades, mantienen el coraje y la dignidad.

Desde hace décadas, miles de niños, niñas y jóvenes han participado directamente en el conflicto armado colombiano como combatientes. Aunque esta es una realidad indiscutible, aún tenemos muy poca conciencia de sus implicaciones tanto para los individuos que han tomado parte directamente en ella, como para la vida en sociedad. Este libro es particularmente importante en este sentido.

"Kindheit 6.7", jahrelang investigativ recherchiert, ist eine Geschichte der Kindheit und zugleich Zivilisationskritik. Ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer und Manifest für ein wieder menschenwürdiges und "artgerechtes" Aufwachsen von Kindern, für eine neue Wertschätzung der familialen Sozialisation und für vollständige Bildungsfreiheit.

The Battle of Hastings and its aftermath nearly wiped out the leading families of Anglo-Saxon England—so what happened to the children this conflict left behind? Conquered offers a fresh take on the Norman Conquest by exploring the lives of those children, who found themselves uprooted by the dramatic events of 1066. Among them were the children of Harold Godwineson and his brothers, survivors of a family shattered by violence who were led by their courageous grandmother Gytha to start again elsewhere.

This book offers 44 bite-sized chapters, filled with practical ideas that parents and educators can use to develop the leadership potential in children and youth. These can be heard in any order.

Tracking deep into our evolutionary history, anthropological science has begun to unravel one particular feature that sets us apart from the many, many animals that came before us—our uniquely long childhoods. Growing Up Human looks at how we have diverged from our ancestral roots to stay ‘forever young’—or at least what seems like forever—and how the evolution of childhood is a critical part of the human story.

When Sky and her older sister Avril were taken into care, the social workers knew this was a case like no other. Raised by unhinged parents who hoarded compulsively, creating horrific conditions no child should live in, the two girls arrived at foster carer Louise's home, neglected, malnourished and indoctrinated. Louise had to draw on all of her experience as one of Britain's leading foster carers to rehabilitate and change the course of their lives.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technologies had become deeply embedded in children’s lives, despite a growing body of research detailing the harms of excessive immersion in the unregulated, powerfully seductive, profit-driven world of the “kid-tech” industry. In Who’s Raising the Kids? Linn—one of the world’s leading experts on the impact of Big Tech and big business on children—explores the roots and consequences of this monumental shift toward a digitized, commercialized childhood, focusing on kids’ values, relationships, and learning.

Schools have long meant more than an education in America. Flawed, inequitable, underfunded, and segregated, they remain the most important engine of social mobility and the crucible of our democracy. The cost of closing them for so long during COVID, made with good intentions, has not been fully reckoned with. In The Stolen Year, Anya Kamenetz follows families across the country through the pandemic. She dives deep into the history that brought us to this point, making the case that 2020 wasn't a lost year—it was taken from our children by years of neglect and bad faith.

La niñez es nuestra plataforma de despegue, el periodo de la vida en el que el aprendizaje es más intenso, y adquirimos el conocimiento crítico y las habilidades que nos permitirán adaptarnos. Filósofos de todas las épocas han señalado que, con el paso del tiempo, los seres humanos tendemos a encogernos mental y emocionalmente. Desvirtuamos nuestra naturaleza -caracterizada por la curiosidad, la empatía, la razón, el asombro y el deseo de experimentar y entender- y, de esta manera, se va volviendo borroso nuestro sentido de identidad.

Emma ist erst vier Jahre alt, aber ihre Datenspur im Internet reicht schon viel weiter zurück. Bereits das erste Ultraschallbild haben ihre Eltern bei Instagram gepostet. Der Kinderwagen hat 2000 Euro gekostet. Museum, Zoo, Kindertheater, Frühenglisch und Karatekurs – all das muss Emma mit vier schon erlebt haben. Statt ihr Kind zu erziehen, überschütten die Eltern es mit Liebe, Geschenken und Optimierungen. Erzieher berichten, dass viele Kinder heute später trocken werden, nur in 2-Wort-Sätzen sprechen oder sich nicht selbst anziehen können.

When identical twins June and Jennifer Gibbons were three, they began to reject communication with anyone but each other, and so began a childhood bound together in a strange and secret world. As they grew up, love, hate and genius united to push them to the extreme margins of society and, following a five week spree of vandalism and arson, the silent twins were sentenced to a gruelling twelve-year detention in Broadmoor. Award-winning investigative journalist Marjorie Wallace delves into the twins' silent world.

Eine Streitschrift über die Missstände der Schulpolitik von der Stimme einer empörten Generation. Deutschlands ehemaliger oberster Schülersprecher Dario Schramm ist einer der schärfsten und profiliertesten Kritiker der Schulpolitik seit dem ersten Lockdown und klagt an: Wie kann es sein, dass Kinder und Jugendliche nicht nach ihren Bedürfnissen gefragt werden? Warum werden sie wenn überhaupt nur als allerletzte mitgedacht? Und wieso wird die Lufthansa mit einem Milliarden-Paket gerettet, während es an Schulen immer noch mit Luftfiltern und schnellem Internet hapert?
