Synopsis

A practical look at how society can protect and develop the next generation, with ideas that shaped early child welfare policy.

This book surveys the forces shaping child welfare, from health and education to labor and morals, and discusses how communities can better support children and families.

Through a wide range of topics, the work examines the rising role of public welfare, the responsibilities of parents and educators, and the ways institutions—from schools to churches—can collaborate to improve outcomes for children. It analyzes the challenges and debates of sex education, parenting guidance, and moral instruction, and it considers how reforms can be implemented in real communities.

  • Insights into how reformers viewed public responsibility for children and how private life interacts with social welfare
  • Discussion of sex education in schools, parent education, and the role of churches and community groups
  • Examination of child labor, health, and nutrition as central to child welfare efforts
  • Considerations of how policy, schools, and social services can work together to protect children

Ideal for readers of social history, public policy, and child welfare who want context for early reforms and the forces that shaped them.
