Items related to Children First: What Our Society Must do-And is not...
The child psychologist whose book Your Baby & Child has provided indispensable advice to a new generation of parents now offers a groundbreaking book which suggests that even the best parenting may not be enough in a society that is hostile to children. Leach shows how our laws, employment polices, and culture end up depriving children of their parents.

From the Back Cover:
Children First is above all a call to action. It boldly spells out:
-what specific policies our society must adopt in order to discriminate in favor of children and the grownups who care for them;
-how measures like paid parental leave and universal preschool education will actually end up saving us money;
-why "family friendly" workplaces and communities turn out to be good for employers and ordinary taxpayers.
About the Author:
-what specific policies our society must adopt in order to discriminate in favor of children and the grownups who care for them;
-how measures like paid parental leave and universal preschool education will actually end up saving us money;
-why "family friendly" workplaces and communities turn out to be good for employers and ordinary taxpayers.
The resulting volume is likely to revolutionize the status of children and parents both--reminding us that the former are our heirs and that the latter do their job best when it is a practical, pleasurable choice.
