Children First by Penelope Leach

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.

Penelope Leach is a research psychologist and a recognized specialist on child development around the world. Your Baby and Child, Babyhood, and Children First are some of her books. She is a senior research fellow at Birkbeck College, University of London, and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, as well as a fellow of the British Psychological Society and a visiting professor at Winchester University. She has served on the American Institute for Child, Adolescent, and Family Studies' Professional Advisory Council, the Sesame Street Curriculum Board, as a consultant editor for Child magazine, vice president of the Health Visitors' Association, and president and chair of the Child Development Society.
