How have children's roles changed throughout history?

The concepts of childhood and adolescence are relatively recent, dating from the second half of 18th century. Obviously, all societies have recognized a period of physical depedence up to about age 8-11. However, the notion of an extended period between that age and adulthood is fairly new. Before that, children aged, say 12 or 13, generally worked like adults, read the same books as adults, dressed like adults - and were (often) punished as adults. This is something of a simplification, as they didn't have the same rights as adults and there were some exceptions; nevertheless, it is a useful starting point. Literature written specifically for children only started to appear in the late 1770s, for example and if one looks at paintings from before about 1770 it is striking that young children dressed in the same way as adults. Until the 1950s there was no music aimed specifically at teenagers and arguably there were no specifically teenage clothing styles, either. Until well into the twentieth century the great majority of kids left school at age 14 and went straight into paid employment. In some cases they went into appreticeships, but essentially their formal education was over. The classic work on the subject is Phillippe Aries, Centuries of Childhood which first appeared in French in 1960. It has been translated into English and makes very interesting reading. Joncey

How were Tudor children treated at school?

They were treated as miniature adults in the sense that the same work ethic and discipline was expected of them as was expected from adults. Very little allowance was made for them 'still being children', and infringements on discipline were usually punished with a beating. This way of treating and training children was however not typical of only the Tudor period; it persisted in Western countries until the early 20th century and it still can be found in many other countries today.


How were they children transported out of the World War 2?

The Ministry of Health was the government department that evacuated the children by trains. It was the only way to move over a million children and adults to the countryside, small villages and South Coastal towns. They were transported back to their home towns the same way.
