Abstract
This article focuses on childhood and more specifically on children's rights, from the perspective of the new sociology of childhood. Although children's rights advocates and proponents of the new sociology of childhood both aspire to a better understanding of childhood while striving to improve the lives of children, collaborative work between the two disciplines is rare (Freeman, 1998). I will therefore attempt to answer the following question: how are children's rights addressed in the new sociology of childhood and what are its implications for research, policies, and practices in social work?
 Keywords: child, children's rights, new sociology of childhood, social work, best interests of the child, participation
