Abstract
All societies seek to transmit their values, traditions, expectations, and skills to the rising generation. We can study this process and how it has changed over time by examining the lives of American children and the institutions created to train them. “The History of Childhood in America” is a survey of the ways in which the concept of childhood has been defined and valued throughout the course of American history, as well as an examination of the historical experiences of children and teens
