Describe the modern view of childhood and explain how it differs from most of recorded history.

What will be an ideal response?


Today, we view children much more benignly than during many periods in the past. We acknowledge that the childhood years are unique and important, we provide children with special environments, and we promote education as a social and personal necessity. Today’s view of children is based, to a greater extent, on theory and research rather than on the religious or political ideas that, in part, dictated the image of children in the past.
