This comprehensive text offers an accessible introduction to the field of childhood studies. Written by a team of higher education teacher-scholars from diverse fields in the behavioral sciences, health sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, this is the first book of its kind to take a current and interdisciplinary approach to childhood studies starting from a framework of United States systems and standards. Designed to serve as a core/required text, Perspectives on Childhood: An Interdisciplinary Approach features a myriad of helpful pedagogical features including Learning Objectives, Case Studies, Chapter Summaries, “Challenging Assumptions,” Reflective Thinking Questions, and a Glossary. It also highlights young people’s expressions and concerns in their own words, featuring children’s poetry, writing, and artwork relevant to the topics presented throughout the text. Wide ranging yet in-depth, this book is an indispensable reference for all who are interested in the vibrant interdisciplinary field of childhood studies and its related professional paths in the areas of education, social work, and child psychology.
