Description
Philippe Aries explores how our understanding of childhood has evolved over time, from medieval attitudes to the 18th century. This book examines the shift in perception of children as individuals within family life.
Aries also considers the development of modern education and the changes that took place in family dynamics during this period. He describes how the family's social role changed from a public to a private sphere, with children gaining a unique status within their households.
