For children and young people, belonging is crucial. The need for community and security shapes their identity, relationships, and experience of community in everyday life, but can also lead to boundaries between ""us"" and ""them"" and trigger processes of inclusion and exclusion, power and powerlessness, continuity and change. Through real-life examples, this anthology explores how children and young people create and experience belonging to peers, places, and things. The first part examines how material goods influence children's social belonging, with examples such as food, clothing, and digital games. The second part looks at how belonging takes shape in various social arenas, from children's birthday parties and the football field to more challenging contexts such as criminal activity. The third part addresses children's belonging from a professional perspective, with insights from social workers, public health nurses, teachers, and other professional groups who play a central role in children's lives. The book is primarily aimed at master's students, educators, and researchers in the field of children and youth, but will also be relevant to professionals in politics and civil society.
