Bringing Children Back into the Family

Bringing Children Back into the Family reflects on the multi-dimensional nature of children's relationships within the home. It explores the extent to which these experiences shape children's meaning-making and how this influences how they position themselves in relation to adults. A global team of contributors paint a picture of the complexity of the family, and the extent to which understandings of home are deepened by reflecting on children s experiences as social agents. The chapters and supporting case studies offer some fascinating reflections that explore home in relation to a range of themes including participation, friendship, memory, moral reflectivity, children s rights and migration. With a focus on relationality and connectedness this book reflects on the duality of structure and agency, as it examines this web of interactions and their impact on children s experiences of the home.
