Debating Children's Lives : Current Controversies on Children and Adolescents

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Should parents who give up their children for adoption continue to have access to them? Should children be allowed to divorce their parents? What about children with AIDS? Should confidentiality be maintained when they are mainstreamed in regular classrooms and nursery schools? In Debating Children's Lives, experts from diverse backgrounds--from social scientists to law professors--address these and other timely issues in a debate format. As the editors point out, there are at least two sides to every issue, and the best road to understanding is to be introduced to all points of view. For each point in question and each opinion, one or more proponents present their cases and also provide a brief rejoinder. Among the other topics addressed are grandparent rights, parental notification on abortion, and parental leave. The cogent arguments presented in Debating Children's Lives will build critical thinking skills and spark class debate for courses on children, adolescents, families, social policy, and social services.
