However smart they are, from a social perspective children do not
really count until maturity. Then all of a sudden society expects
responsibility, independence and in particular, commitment. This
viewpoint, shared by so many children and young people today, is
the basis of much disaffection among youth. This miscalculation,
and how to combat it, is the major theme of this book. The social
qualities expected of young people do not come to them
automatically. Children need to be guided through social
experiences to develop responsibility and commitment. The most
effective way to inculcate these qualities is to involve children
through their active participation in their education and welfare.
The book reviews the theoretical framework for participation by
children and young people, and discusses fields of practice where
participation is of great importance - including local youth
policy, education and professional youth care. Micha de Winter is a
professor of child care and in this book he draws on his many years
of experience to produce a work which is authoritative, inspiring
and convincing. Children as Fellow Citizens is essential reading
for those involved in youth and social policy, educators and social
scientists, as well as social service and health care
professionals.
