In Why Didn’t They Hear Us? The Causes, Consequences, and Solutions to Children Feeling Unheard, author Pam Orgeron addresses the problem of children being unheard in America.

In writing this book, Pam combines her education, research, and life experience to compile a book that will help adults in recovery from being unheard as a child and help adults—whether parents, teachers, clinicians, or others—who work with children regularly.
