Ratification of the Convention cannot, however, guarantee that everyone will abandon proprietary notions about children, or that all children will be free to enjoy the substance of their rights in every social and institutional context in which they find themselves, including--and perhaps especially--within families. This disconnect remains one of the most important challenges to the recognition of children's rights in Canada. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors argue that social toxins are as harmful to children's independent welfare and developmental interests as environmental toxins, and that both must be eradicated if Canada is to fulfill its commitments under the Convention. They also argue that if Canada wishes to ensure the substance of the rights outlined in the Convention are socially guaranteed, an attitudinal or cultural shift is required concerning the moral and legal status of children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis revised, expanded, and updated edition of the bestselling \u003ci\u003eChallenge of Children's Rights for Canada\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to academics, policymakers, parents, teachers, social workers, and human service professionals--indeed to anyone who cares about and for children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Covell, R.
