The concept of time in childhood and youth is discussed in two
contradictory ways; first romanticized, as a time of play,
innocence, and exploration - of learning through trial and error,
and second, as a time restricted by tight societal and generational
structures, such as chains of care, institutional and family
timetables. Children, Youth and Time reflects on the complex
concept of time as perceived and experienced by children and young
people in relevant societal and generational contexts. Including
empirical and theoretical contributions from around the globe which
shed light on time and temporality as it is negotiated by children
and young people in distinction to adults, both within the family
and in institutional contexts, the chapters in this collection
delve into the impact of current global challenges upon children,
young people, and families' time. How do critical global concerns
such as climate change or the COVID-19 pandemic affect the temporal
experience of children and youth? Providing fresh insight at a
crucial moment of global disruption, the authors equip us with a
stronger awareness of young people's perceptions of the world
during periods of crisis. As a vital tool for safeguarding and
implementing strategies to support children and young people in an
everchanging world, this is a timely resource for researchers
interested in the welfare of children and youth.
