In Loving Hands is a definitive book that advocates for young children living in residential settings. Under the proper circumstances, these institutions, while not always having provided the ideal climate for healthy growth both emotionally and physically, can operate in the best interest of children when they adhere to the precepts of this book. Written in three parts--an overview, the declaration of ten rights, and global voices of experience--In Loving Hands offers an in-depth look at how the quality of care in residential homes can be improved through information, detailed guidance, and applicable tools. After a comprehensive research, the authors have made it their mission to support institutions in successfully caring for young children in group settings where they are able to thrive and grow up to be healthy, happy, and productive members of society.
