While society has made significant progress in raising awareness about oppression and injustice, children continue to be mistreated. Common parenting and discipline methods often treat children in ways that would cause outrage if applied to adults. Adults often dismiss and ignore the needs and feelings of children, teaching them to blindly obey without receiving the respect they deserve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fear of treating children kindly is evident in the constant uproar and ridicule surrounding the gentle parenting movement. In her timely book, bestselling author and parenting expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith blends childcare history, sociology, psychology, and current affairs to shed light on childism, the unconscious discrimination of children in our world. By raising awareness of this issue, she aims to empower parents, carers, teachers, and anyone who works with children to make positive changes in their care and contribute to a more inclusive society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause I Said So! is a thought-provoking guide and an urgent call to action. It helps readers understand their own upbringing and how it has shaped their beliefs and behavior. It prompts them to consider the prevalence of childism in society today and the need for change. The book also explores how we can transform the way our society treats children to create positive, lasting change for future generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChildism has been overlooked and ignored for far too long. If we truly want to create a better world, we must start with the treatment of children. By valuing their needs, feelings, and individuality, we can foster a society that is more compassionate, respectful, and inclusive. Let us embrace the power of parenting and work together to build a brighter future for all children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 153 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780349436463\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarah Ockwell-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44570859569402,"sku":"9780349436463","price":12.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1694790752894_book.jpg?v=1694960228","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/because-i-said-so-why-society-is-childist-and-how-breaking-the-cycle-of-discrimination-towards-children-can-change-the-world-9780349436463","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
