A Good Childhood?




The Children's Society have commissioned this report called A Good Childhood, and it as well as all the snow has been in the news today...

Selfish Adults Are A Threat To Our Children.

Working Women Damaging Children.

While both these assertions raise some interesting and disturbing views, I do feel that they are missing the point somewhat. I am also particularly irritated with the same old, same old about working women. Blaming it on the need for economic independence, which causes women to leave their husbands is archaic, patriarchal and basically bollocks.

I am not going to completely slag off the report though, since all I am reacting to at the moment are media soundbites. However, after looking at the Children's Society website, it is a charity run by the Church of England. Hmmmm...so no hidden agenda there then?
