Description

"The Singapore Children's Society is a blue chip Voluntary Welfare Organisation. It has served the changing needs of our children for many decades. I commend the Society for publishing the texts of its annual lectures, which are thoughtful and of enduring value." Professor Tommy Koh Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs "A remarkable collection of essays, that enrich our understanding of the pivotal place of children and families in our society, and that range from the scholarly to the personal - reflecting the past, chronicling the present and pointing to the future." Dr Kanwaljit Soin Former Nominated Member of Parliament "The voices of children are heard through these lectures from various perspectives. The insights from the lectures and from the stories add to our history of what growing up was and is like, and they will continue to be enriching in the years ahead." Ms Ang Bee Lian Director of Social Welfare, Ministry of Social and Family Development The book sheds light on the transformation of childhood in Singapore, over our many milestones. It is a collection of lectures by distinguished authorities on various aspects of childhood. They encompass a rich mix of historical material and personal anecdotes garnered from the speakers themselves and their respective professional expertise. Salient questions from the audience are also included with the speakers' replies.
