520 _aThis book is the result of a two year investigation by the Children's Society. It draws upon the work of the UK's leading experts in many fields and explores the main stresses and influences to which every child is exposed: family, friends, youth culture, values, and schooling. It tackles issues which affect every child and questions and provides solutions to the belief that life has become extraordinarily difficult for children in general. The experts make 30 specific recommendations for the general reader, parents and teachers.
