It's not fair : why it's time for a grown-up conversation about how adults treat children / by Rickman, Eloise,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Why do some adults think it's fine to hit children? Why does the school system fail so many pupils? And when their future is on the line, why can't children vote? How we treat children isn't fair. Despite the lip service paid to their rights, children are still discriminated against in every aspect of their lives-rising levels of child poverty, underfunded and outdated education and childcare systems, controlling parenting practices, and political systems that exclude their voices on issues which will affect them most-not least the climate crisis. Children are not passive victims of oppression, but their resistance and struggle for equality has been largely ignored by the wider social justice movement-until now. In this groundbreaking manifesto, Eloise Rickman argues that it's time to stop viewing children as less than adults and start fighting for their rights to be taken seriously. Radical, compassionate, and profoundly hopeful, this powerful new book signals the start of a long-overdue conversation about how we treat children. Featuring practical solutions and the voices of children and adults who are working towards them, It's Not Fair is a call to embrace children's liberation and the possibility of a better, fairer world."--Publisher's description.

She's given the junior brief on a scandalous case involving a male teacher and his student. It's an opportunity to prove herself, but will she let a dangerous flirtation cloud her professional judgement?

What she said : conversations about equality / by Renzetti, Elizabeth,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."A passionate advocate for gender equity, and one of our most respected journalists, explores the most pressing issues facing women in Canada today. The fight for women's rights was supposed to have been settled. Or, to put it another way, women were supposed to have settled -- for what we were grudgingly given, for the crumbs from the table that we had set. For thirty per cent of the seats in Canada's Parliament; for four per cent of the CEO's offices; for a tenth of the salary of male athletes; for the one per cent of sexual assault cases that result in convictions; for tenuous control over our health and bodies. "Aren't we over it yet? No, we're not," Elizabeth Renzetti writes. For more than thirty years, Renzetti was an award-winning journalist at the Globe and Mail. Her columns over the years followed the trajectory of women's rights and were written with humour and with sympathy. In this forcefully argued, accessible book, Renzetti explores a range of issues: the increasingly hostile world of threats that deter young women from seeking a role in public life; the rise of the toxic manosphere; the use of non-disclosure agreements to silence victims of sexual harassment and assault; the inadequacy of access to health care and reproductive justice, especially as experienced by Indigenous and racialized women; the ways in which future technologies must be made more inclusive; the disparity in pay, wealth, and savings, and how women are not yet socialized to be the best financial managers they can be; the imbalanced burden of care, from emotional labour to child care. Renzetti explores the nuance of these issues, so often presented as divisive, in order to unite women at a time when women must work together to protect their fundamental right to exist fully and freely in the world. Exploring too the places where progress is being made, What She Said is a rallying cry for a more just future."--

Tweens : what kids need NOW, before the teenage years : navigating friendships, moods, technology, boundaries, body image and the road ahead / by Mitchell, Michelle,author.; Dent, Maggie,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-328) and index.If your child is between the ages of nine and twelve, you are in the throes of the 'between' years. Not quite a child and not yet a teenager, tweens embody a very specific stage of development that once understood will revolutionise the way you parent, educate and support those in your care. In Tweens, parenting educator Michelle Mitchell explains that this is the most rapid period of development since toddlerhood. Right now, before the full pressures of high school hit, you have a window of opportunity that can change the trajectory of adolescence and beyond. Using the results from her recent survey of more than 2000 parents and tweens, along with interviews with experts, Michelle compassionately guides parents through their children's friendship issues, mood swings, confidence crises, technology habits, sibling rivalry, body image concerns and seemingly inexplicable behaviour. She provides invaluable practical advice and groundbreaking research from leading organisations to reassure parents that tweens are ready to be switched on to their potential, and every trusted adult in their lives can be a part of that process.
