Norman Denzin presents a social psychological account of how the
lives of children are shaped by social interaction, particularly
interaction with parents and other caretakers. He examines the
special language of children, their socialization experiences, and
the emergence of their selfconceptions- all as they occur in
natural surroundings: daycare centers, homes, playgrounds, schools,
and many other places. Denzin is concerned not with sequential
developmental changes during childhood, but with how children
themselves enter into the processes that lead to self-awareness,
socialized abilities and attribute-such as pride, perceptiveness,
dignity, and poise. Through his symbolic interactionist approach,
Denzin shows how language-the key link between children and
others-is required in everyday interpersonal relationships and how
the sense of self develops as linguistic skills grow. He stresses
the importance of play and games as processes by which children
teach themselves about social behavior; he also shows that, for
children, play takes on the seriousness of adults' work. Denzin
maintains that the definitions of childhood by the 1970s had become
detrimentally entrenched in educational and political policies
regarding children. He recommends a new definition that recognizes
children as individuals seeking meaning for their own actions. This
book will be valuable to all social scientists concerned with
symbolic and linguistic foundations of the socialization process. A
new introduction reviews developments since publication of the
original edition. This book raises the interactions between adults
and children to a new level.
