Document Summary
Infancy and childhood (0-12): adolescence (13-17), young adults/transitional adults (18-29), early middle years (30-49), later middle years (50-65), older years (65 and above). In earlier time periods, children were viewed as mini-adults: today, children are viewed as tender and innocent, adults need to provide care, comfort, and protection, sense of self, micro-level, families: provide warmth, trust, and security (trust versus mistrust. Erikson): abuse: low self-esteem, isolation, mistrust, and powerlessness, macro-level, public institutions: policies and practices to promote positive childrearing. Symbolic interactionist perspective: developing self-image from interactions: focuses on how children develop a self from interactions with parents and other people in their lives, cooley"s looking glass process, mead"s role taking process. Childhood and adulthood form opposing social codes that are not only mutually dependent, but which also define and imply each other. It is possible to distinguish among four types of childhood: postmodern childhood; advanced modernized childhood; traditional modernized childhood; fundamentalist childhood.
