Although in academic terms children may be viewed as beings, Creasy and Corby posit that there is much to suggest that for parents, practitioners and policy-makers, children are primarily seen as becomings. The book argues that viewing children as becomings, together with the idea that childhood is fraught with danger, contributes to practices and policies which can be seen as making childhood tame. This taming of childhood leads to an impoverished childhood that does not provide the space that children need to grow and develop. Furthermore, \u003ci\u003eTaming Childhood?\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the idea that young adults are 'snowflakes', unable to cope with everyday pressures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudents and scholars across a range of social science disciplines will find this book of interest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Pivot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-02-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030118419\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-11842-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 159\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47708837642380,"sku":"9783030118419","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030118419.jpg?v=1776784283","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030118419","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
