In a small northern community, nestled at the bottom of Hudson Bay Mountain, my life and education began. School provided a warm environment where parent-teacher relationships were fostered. Between my home and school, it was apparent that the child’s needs and well-being were the priority. Though this luxury I enjoyed was not the case for all, I feel as though it was an ideal that many worked towards. As seen in the mid to late 1900’s, the role of feeding, bathing, and getting children to school on time belonged to the mother. Looking at my childhood, I would describe it as average and fitting into the social norms of societies expectations. This being said, I think the ‘classic childhood’ is often played up and fewer children actually get the chance to enjoy it. That being said, childhood in today’s society is a time of nurturing and protecting children.
