Beschreibung

Re-examining Childhood into Adolescence: Discovering the lost Newson manuscript, previously unpublished, looks at the children at the age of 11 years, describing their lives and making links with their past and future experiences. The first six chapters focus on experiences at 11 years but the final chapter addresses difficult behaviour and its antecedents and includes some data from the 16-year-old interviews.
