Answer to Question 1

Adults started to view and treat children as more than miniature adults. Children began to spend more time playing than working, and adolescence became a stage of life that did not involve adult responsibilities. Another sign of change was that people published more books for and about children. Adults began to recognize children's individuality by giving them names that were different from their father's or mother's. They also began, for the first time, to celebrate birthdays, especially those of children. There was also a decline in physical punishment, and physicians and others began to recognize the early onset of sexual feelings in children.

Answer to Question 2
