I have chosen to summarise the bbc history of childhood website which I found while doing a google key word search on the two words history childhood. This website is from the bbc and provides information about the six episodes with the presenter Michael Morpurgo covering the invention of childhood from the 11th century all the way through to the present. Listed is a brief description of the contents of each episode. From this website there is a useful link to The Open University which accompanies the series and you can look at the making of the series, Michael Morpurgo’s childhood, childhood throughout the ages and childhood around the world. There is the chance to view a gallery of historic childhood pictures which includes childrens games in the sixteenth century and various victorian schoolbook pages.
This is great buddy! It looks like you've been doing this for years! xx
