Childhood Throughout The Ages

Childhood in the middle ages was harsh. Children were expected to be just like adults because life in the middle ages was hard and many people died young. Sickness, disease, and death was well known in the middle ages because of lacking heath care. Because of the poor heath care the parents of the middle ages wouldn't get to attached to their children. they were expected to do every thing their parents did.
The Children of the 18th 19th centuries were very disciplined. In the 18th century worked crazy hours in dangerous work environments. Many children in both the 18th and 19th centuries were used for theft and begging because they were easy to control and gain sympathy from people. In the early 19th century child labour protections were created to stop the children that grew up in these hash conditions from being a problem to society.
Children in the 20th century are considered useless for economic productions because of their age and immaturity. Parents grew emotionally closer to their children because they started to have time for them and to be more caring towards them. Parents that adopted, would usually get a baby. Babies were the children to get.
