Abstract
- This paper reviews different perspectives of the changing nature of childhood, comparing these to state responses that seek to improve children's well-being. Unlike previous generations of children, children today spend much of their time under cover and under the watchful eyes of adults. It is likely that this change has had a negative impact on children's well-being. The paper explores possible styles of state intervention, arguing that a broader approach is needed in the UK than is currently being considered.
