Mary Kellett and Heather Montgomery, both lecturers at the Open University, here add a valuable contribution to the analysis of children's lives, focusing on the relationship between theory, policy and practice.

It proposes an approach to practice whereby children are not simply seen as having a series of needs but are also in need of as good a childhood as possible.
