Children's needs and feelings are frequently dismissed and ignored by adults. Children are taught to blindly obey adults in the name of 'respect', although respect is so rarely shown to them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We are a society that is afraid of treating children kindly, as evidenced by the almost constant uproar and ridicule of the 'gentle parenting' movement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this timely book, bestselling author and parenting expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith blends childcare history, sociology, psychology and current affairs to raise awareness of childism - the unconscious discrimination of children in our world - and why it impacts everybody.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Essential for parents, carers, teachers and anybody who works with children, \u003ci\u003eBecause I Said So!\u003c\/i\u003e is both a thought-provoking guide and an urgent call to action. It will help you to understand your own upbringing and how this has shaped your beliefs and behaviour; prompt you to consider the prevalence of childism in society today, so that you can change the way you look after the children in your care or reinforce the approach you are already taking; and consider how we can transform the way our society treats children to create positive, lasting change for generations to come.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Childism is an issue that has been ignored and avoided for far too long. If we want to change the world for the better, we must start with treating our children better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Little, Brown Book Group Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780349436463\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group Limited","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £754.80","offer_id":47958426878129,"sku":"SB-0349436460-C4","price":754.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0349436460.jpg?v=1790049119","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/because-i-said-so-why-society-is-childist-and-how-breaking-the-cycle-of-discrimination-towards-children-can-change-the-world","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
