You Can Help Your Country
First published in 2011, You Can Help Your Country: English children’s work during the Second World War reveals the remarkable, hidden history of children as social agents who actively participated in a national effort during a period of crisis. In praise of the book, Hugh Cunningham, celebrated author of The Invention of Childhood, wrote: ‘Think of children and the Second World War, and evacuation comes immediately to mind. Berry Mayall and Virg…
Generation as a social variable
In this short paper, I start with a case study – about how elementary school children in the early twentieth century in England understood their responsibilities vis-à-vis family (and school). This example provides a window into a past which deeply contrasts with present-day children’s and adults’ understandings and lives. I go on to consider (very briefly, for the field is vast) how ideas about childhood changed in the interwar years and how, si…
The (im)possibilities of dialogue across feminism and childhood scholarship and activism
The relations between those positioned as women and as children, and the political and intellectual consequences of how we conceptualise these connections, has received only scant attention. In this article we describe a symposium and on-going project which aim to bring together community-based and academic scholars to debate the intersections and perceived antagonisms between various forms of feminism and the politics of childhood. We trace how …
Childhood with Bourdieu
This collection is an engaging exploration of how Bourdieu's key concepts - field, habitus and capital - help us re-think the status of childhood. The authors are committed to improving the social sta
Understanding inter-generational relations
This paper aims to consider the sociology of childhood in relation to child health maintenance, restoration and promotion, through discussion of three intersecting themes: children as a minority social group; children as embodied social actors and children as agents in the inter-generational division of labour. I build on my previous work on children's negotiations of their health status, at home and at school and review some important developmen…
Child Perceived Parenting Behavior
The current study examined the relationship between child-reported parenting behaviors and children's anxiety, depressive, and externalizing symptoms. Youth ages 7 - 14 ( N = 175; 52.6% male) and their parents seeking treatment for child anxiety were evaluated. The parenting behaviors that were measured separately included father's and mother's acceptance, psychological control, and firm/behavioral control. Children's symptoms were assessed using…
An afterword
This paper was commissioned by the editors of the seminar series of papers, to provide a commentary on the series. It outlines how the sociology of childhood developed and some key themes: intergenerational relations and intergenerational processes. It discusses the specific character of childhood work in the UK and considers ways forward for theoretical development. Finally it considers what lessons can be learned across the majority and minorit…
Children, emotions and daily life at home and school
What is wrong with children's well-being in the UK? Questions of meaning and measurement
This paper discusses problems with existing attempts to measure children's well-being using secondary datasets, taking as an example the UNICEF Innocenti report entitled Child poverty in perspective: an overview of child well-being in rich countries (UNICEF 2007). The report placed the UK's children at the bottom of the league table of rich nations on their average score across six dimensions, including emotional well-being and ‘happiness’. The r…
Values and assumptions underpinning policy for children and young people in England
This paper provides an account of current ideas about English childhood that seem to underpin policies 'for' children. New Labour values the future adulthood of children more than their childhoods, and stresses children's responsibilities over their rights. Generally, child protection and provision for children has higher status than children's participation. Children are excluded from participation in social life. Traditional psychological formu…
Conceptualising Child-Adult Relations
Conceptualising Child-Adult Relations focuses on how children conceptualise and experience child-adult relations. The authors explore the idea of generation as a key to understanding children's agency in intersection with social worlds which are largely organised and ordered by adults. The authors explore two interconnected themes: how children define the division of labour between children and adults, and how far children regard themselves as co…
Breaking barriers—provision and participation in an out‐of‐school centre
This paper uses a research and development project – the A Space project in Hackney – as an exemplar for discussion of policy and practice issues arising from the recent expansion of out‐of‐school child care and study support services. In particular, the authors explore children's participation rights and multi‐agency working, two key principles upon which A Space is based. The paper suggests that current government out‐of‐school policy raises ke…

A school health service for children
This paper considers the merits of the school health service in England and Wales, viewed as a service for children of primary school age. The paper reports on data from a recent Economic and Social Research Council‐funded study: Children's Health in Primary Schools. Data were collected through a randomly selected sample of 620 schools and through six case studies. The study found variation in the quantity and quality of the service; the service …

Children, parents and risk
Most research on children and risk is heavily influenced by developmental theory. This paper is based on a study which uses a different approach, drawing on recent work within the sociology of childhood. 'Children, Parents and Risk' explores the ways in which risks to children are understood and managed by children and parents, focusing on children's daily lives in and around the home at the ages of 3, 9 and 12 years. Data were gathered from inte…
Towards a Sociology of Child Health
This paper argues that children, as an important social group, repay study in connection with the sociology of health and illness. The paper outlines the neglect of children within medical sociology and goes on to open up a discussion towards a sociology of child health. The paper makes three main points. First, consideration of the case of health and illness helps understanding of children's social positioning as a minority group. Secondly, chil…
Children's Accounts of Risk
This article discusses issues arising from a qualitative study, `Children, Parents and Risk', where children (aged 9 and 12 years) and their parents were asked to talk about children's daily life in and around the home, with emphasis on decision-making. The discussion of the data is contextualized mainly within the idea of children as a social group. Themes in the research are intergenerational identifications of risk, understandings of children,…
Children as Research Subjects
This paper is based on a qualitative research study, Children, Parents and Risk. This study looks at the ways in which risks to children are understood and managed by children and parents. The paper focuses on two areas of the research—gaining access and interviewing—in order to show how the research process itself has constituted an important source of data on childhood and risk.

Keeping children healthy-The intermediate domain
Keeping healthy at home and school
This paper focusses on children as a social group, in order to discuss the division of labour in health care between children, parents and teachers. It draws on data from a qualitative study of children's, parents' and teachers' perspectives on the health care of primary school children. The paper argues that the distinctive social and emotional context of the home and the school are critical for the structuring of children's health care activiti…

Researching childcare in a multi-ethnic society
This article explores the research process for two studies aimed at revealing white and ethnic minority mothers’ perspectives on child health care in the UK during the 1980s. An important goal within the studies was that the methodology employed should be appropriate to the topic, and hence sensitive to the interviewees’ responses. The research process was thus doubly at odds with dominant ‘male‐stream’, health research practice, which assumes wo…

The Division of Labour in Early Child Care-Mothers and Others
This paper is concerned with the work of child care and with the division of work between mothers and others. Drawing on research data, it explores the idea that this work takes place in a domain located between the public and the private. The perspectives of mothers and health visitors on child care and health care are considered, with particular reference to their perspectives on their own and others' knowledge and responsibility

A joy or a hassle
This paper draws on data from a qualitative study carried out of 33 households and 28 health visitors to explore mothers' perspectives on childcare. The sample of mothers reflects the multi‐ethnic character of the inner London area they live in. The paper explores the extent to which these women, from a wide range of backgrounds, shared common priorities, concerns and perspectives on childcare and childhood; and examines differences between group…
Childcare and childhood
This paper draws on data from a recent study of parents' and health staff views on child health care. The study found that mothers and health visitors held broadly different views on good childcare. In this paper it is argued that these reflect different models of childhood and motherhood Findings about background were reported and discussed in CHILDREN & SOCIETY 4(2). The study was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and carried o…
