According to Thews, one of the central theoretical problems in childhood studies is that the objects of our study – children and childhood –
○ are always in flux.
○ don't exist.
○ exist at very different levels of enquiry.
○ cannot be measured.
○ None of the above
Question 27 (1 point)
When childcare has been overwhelmingly seen and practiced as a female concern, a social constructionist would ask a series of questions:
○ What in the DNA makes women better parents?
○ What secondary sexual characteristics are needed for nurturing?
○ What about women's physiology prepared them to be caregivers?
○ What might this also tell us about the changing natures of motherhood, fatherhood and childhood, as well as changing family structures, labour markets, governmental childcare policies and local council nursery provision?
○ None of the above

Answer

  1. Exist at very different levels of enquiry. Children are concrete individuals, whereas childhood is an abstract social category.

  2. Question 27: What might this also tell us about the changing natures of motherhood, fatherhood and childhood, as well as changing family structures, labour markets, governmental childcare policies and local council nursery provision? Social constructionism examines how social, historical and institutional conditions shape caregiving roles rather than treating them as biologically determined.
