Children can be difficult to locate in history- they don't write and leave little material footprint. What are the theoretical and methodological concerns when studying the history of childhood?
Post Body

Children can't write, they don't take up much space or resources, and they are often barely even "actors:" their actions can be more indicative of adult behavior than their own. How can historians go about a "history of children?" Does a history of children field even exist, in the same sense that "history of technology" or "women's history" does? What theoretical concerns must be kept in mind? Are there any particular methodologies that have been laid out?
