childhood

Childhood is the age span ranging from birth to adolescence. According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, childhood consists of two stages: preoperational stage and concrete operational stage. In developmental psychology, childhood is divided up into the developmental stages of toddlerhood (learning to walk), early childhood (play age), middle childhood (school age), and adolescence (puberty through post-puberty). Various childhood factors could affect a person's attitude formation.
The concept of childhood emerged during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly through the educational theories of the philosopher John Locke and the growth of books for and about children. Previous to this point, children were often seen as incomplete versions of adults.

    Question I can only remember the music video!!

    So I'm completely lost here! I have this memory of a music video that freaked me out as a young kid. It was aired in the early 2000's on a music channel on satellite. It was a hip hop song and the music video showed a few girls in a hummer or large SUV driving at night with a big woman behind...

    Satisfying smells from your childhood and/or present?

    I was in the supermarket earlier, absolutely starving and staring at the ice cream/desserts. I saw a multi buy offer for Oreo ice cream - upon opening the freezer door, I got a waft of the amazing smell that instantly took me back to when I was a kid. It brought back the memories of going to the...

    NOSTALGIA: Memories of Christmas Past

    To go with the general nostalgia of your childhood thread. What did you used to do at Christmas when you were a child? For myself, my brother and I would always wake our parents up ridiculously early. Our presents were in two large paper sacks with Santa Claus on them, leaned up against the...

    Mum EOL. Thank you Star Trek.

    I grew up watching TNG (and then all other series) with my parents. Being in the UK, I had to wait each month for the VHS releases to come out which mum and dad would duly purchase and we'd watch together. Star Trek was 'our thing' and is one of the defining moments of my childhood and our...

    Movie Lists. This should be simple so think I’m being thick

    After reading “the last action heroes” I was trying to create a list of all the films of my childhood years in chronological order up to present day. Just to see what was watching and when and also see what I may of missed etc. I assumed this would be easy. Go to IMDb, have it show me all...

    HELP! Trying to find obscure TV show from childhood

    Hi, This is a long shot but its driving me crazy I can't fully remember this show. It was some sort of episodic show that would have been on in the 70s and/or 80s. Something to do with a traveler who had a large carnival or medicine wagon. Kid and some adult were the main characters...

    Toys from your childhood that you now think are rubbish

    I had a conversation with the father of my daughter's best friend the other week and he was telling me how he'd been in Toys-R-Us in Croydon a few days beforehand with his two kids. He'd wandered past the aisle with the Scalextric sets (other racing car track sets available) and fancied getting...

    Films from your childhood or youth that you fear watching again.

    ...and those who passed the test. I've been hooked to films from a very early age. I can't remember which film started it as cinema and TV get merged in my memory, but I have vivid memories of going to my local youth cine club in France by myself at about 9 years to watch films like Le...
