 Growing up: from eight years to young adulthood.
Author: Lindon, Jennie Published: 1996 Growing Up describes the main changes for children and young people as they grow from middle childhood to the brink of adulthood. A full description of development is placed in the context of their daily lives and those of their families. The book explores the meaning of independence for a generation that is growing up in a world that is different from that of their parent's childhood. Yet many of the concerns of today's children and young people are scarcely different from those of previous generations: the experience of school, making friends, and dealing with the pressures and risks of growing up. Children's and young people's own views of these experiences are included, as well as those of adults reflecting on their own youth. |
