19th+Century+Kids

1.) How and why are children important to daily life? (Both now and during the 19th century)  Kids in the 19th century were important because they could work in factories and fit in small places where adults can’t and they would help around the help. Kids in the present don’t need but we do chores and help around the house.  2.) How are children today different from those during the 19th century? Kids today don’t have as many chores, and can afford toys and games while kids in the 19th century have jobs, do chores on the farm, and to work in dangerous conditions 3.) What century would you have rather grown up in and why? I would rather grow up in the present because I wouldn’t like to work all the time and have a job in dangerous conditions and little pay. There is also little time to play and there wasn’t the technology we have today.

4.) What was one aspect of childhood that you found most interesting while researching? Kids as young 5 years of age worked in factories and coal mines. This was very dangerous to their heath. ss letter
