This book investigates how constructed representations of the
child have and continue to restrict children’s opportunities to
engage in moral discourses, and the implications this has on
children’s everyday experiences. By considering a moral dimension
to both structure and agency, the author focuses on the nature of
the images that are used to represent the child and how these sit
in contrast to the active and meaning-driven way in which
children negotiate their everyday lives.

The book therefore argues that ‘morality’ provides a filter to
understand the backdrop for interaction, as well as offering a
focus for engaging with the individual as a social agent, acting
and reacting in the world around them.
