Children’s lives have changed greatly over the last 30 years. But do they have a 11 childhood than you or I did
I had a very happy childhood. I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all 12 being with them. We 13 played board games on the living room floor, or spent days in the street with the other neighborhood children.
These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has 14 greatly. Firstly, families are 15 and most families have only one child. It is 16 for both parents to work outside the home. As a result, today’s boys and girls spend 17 of their time alone.
18 big change is that children today spend a huge amount of their free time at home. This is because parents worry about real or imagined 19 outside the home.
Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play are quite different. We used to play many board games, but today’s children spend a lot of free time playing computer and video games. The fact that they can play electronic games on their own further increases the sense of 20 felt by many young people today.
