Reviews?This book is an easily accessible and authoritative guide for academics, students, and practitioners interested in interviewing children. With a growing body of literature around including children within research processes, this book is particularly timely. Notably, O'Reilly and Dogra place children as central players in the research process and frame their discussion within the context of 'child-centred research'. This framing sets the stage for a theoretically grounded and practically oriented discussion of the process of carrying out a research study with children and/or young people using interviews. This book is certainly one that I will recommend as a primary text to colleagues and graduate students involved in child-centred qualitative research. , Interviewing children requires distinctive skills and strategies, and this book covers them all. From conceptualizing the interview's purpose to planning and undertaking child-friendly interviews and ensuring ethical encounters, this book delivers expert theoretical and practical guidance from fieldwork to analysis. A must have resource. -- Susan Danby There are not many titles that provide such a clear and accessible step-by-step guide to everything you need to know about interviewing children. An ideal resource for novice and experienced researchers alike--strongly recommended! -- Daniela Sime ?This book is an easily accessible and authoritative guide for academics, students, and practitioners interested in interviewing children.

There is - rightly - considerable interest in the health and well-being of young people, and it is critical that research incorporates the perspectives of young people. In this book the authors have provided an unprecedented comprehensive and accessible step-by-step introduction to interviewing young people that is of tremendous value to researchers and to anyone working with young people, from teachers to clinicians. What shines through in particular is the authors' commitment to hearing and learning from the voices of young people - and the necessity of this attention is the most important message of this excellent book. -- Craig Morgan, This is an important and timely book.
