The nature of childhood, the consideration of whether a certain age
denotes innocence or not, and the desire to teach good citizenship
to our children are all issues commonly discussed by today's media.
This book brings together a variety of perspectives on the study of
childhood: how this has been treated historically and how such a
concept is developing as we move into the next century. The book is
divided into five main sections: * part one sets the scene and
provides the reader with an overview of attitudes towards
childhood. * part two surveys the contribution of literature from
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries * part three examines
educational issues such as childrens' play, language acquisition
and spiritual development * part four looks at the representation
of children in film, television and other mass media * part five
offers further help for study and research This book draws on a
number of academic disciplines including education, literature,
theology, language studies and history. It will be of particular
use to those on Childhood studies courses and all those studying
for a teacher qualification. Teachers of children aged between 4-12
years old will find its contribution to their continuing
professional development extremely helpful.
