The present article attempts to analyse the cultural construction of childhood in the context of a few selected tribal communities of Arunachal Pradesh. The study of children is not only important as a subject for chalking out policies and programmes but as a whole, they are a different set of population that could make the society understand the crux of children issues and child development better.

Six types of studies show that father love sometimes explains as much or more of the variation in specific child and adult outcomes as does mother love. Sometimes, however, only father love is statistically associated with specific aspects of offsprings' development and adjustment, after controlling for the influence of mother love. Recognition of these facts was clouded historically by the cultural construction of fatherhood and fathering in America.

Pia Løvschal Nielsen: Cultural Aspects of Child Development and Socialisation Using ethnographic material from a Hutterite colony in Western Canada, the article shows how adult interpretations of child development and socialisation influence the organisation of children’s daily routines and thus their access to social and cultural knowledge. In this colony, adults are thought to occupy a central position in children’s social and cultural learning processes. At the same time, adults and children are seen as two exclusive categories with separate spheres of action. Daily routines, grounded in this cultural construction, actively exclude children from adult practices, minimising their daily participation in adult spheres of action and allowing few opportunities for direct observation of adult models. The author discusses how children’s cultural and social learning takes place through exclusion from, rather than participation in, adult practices. Hutterite children’s intense involvement in an annual community event indicates that children actively create and participate in their own social field gaining social and cultural knowledge through this process rather than through engagement with adults. The author argues that children’s cultural learning processes are far more active and situational than proposed by theories of development and intemalisation which identify adults as focal to children’s development and intemalization of cultural codes for agency.

Cette Question

Le présent article1 porte sur l’apport de l’imaginaire dans le développement psycho-spirituel des jeunes, enfants et pré-adolescents. Cette problématique s’insère dans le contexte de la société québécoise contemporaine ; deux changements sociaux récents en ce qui a trait à l’éducation des jeunes y sont présentés. Pour traiter de cette question, nous faisons appel aux principales théories du développement de l’enfant qui ont largement décrit les différents stades développementaux. Il sera question de leurs limites, et surtout de leurs forces, dont certaines ont proposé des éléments, comme l’imagination – qui se rapproche et se distingue de l’imaginaire – qui font écho à l’élan naturel des enfants d’être tournés dès leur naissance vers le spirituel. Nous présentons également la théorie de Gilbert Durand (1992 [1960]) de l’imaginaire. Enfin, nous terminerons avec une brève réflexion théologique de l’importance de considérer l’imaginaire dans le développement de la foi. In this article, we look at the contribution of the “imaginary” to the psycho-spiritual development of children and pre-adolescents. We also look at two recent social changes in education, in the province of Quebec, which could possibly have an impact on this very development. Main theories of child development are also used to better understand children’s propensity towards spirituality, as well as Gilbert Durand’s theory (1992 [1960]) on anthropological structures of the “imaginary.” We conclude with a theological reflection on the importance of the “imaginary” for faith development.
