youth and autonomy
“Young people often do not fully appreciate their
conduct's effect on others. What they believe to
be normal and legitimate behavior can
sometimes make others apprehensive or afraid.
Sometimes the mere presence of large youth
groups, or their physical appearance (dress,
hairstyles, body piercings, and tattoos), is
intimidating regardless of their conduct. People
often perceive youth groups congregating in
public to be gangs and, therefore, dangerous.”
-- COPS guide, p. 16

the child perceives things like
a solipsist who is unaware of
himself as subject and is familiar
only with his own actions.”

Today, the desire to shelter and
monitor children’s activities has
resulted in more home-based
children’s activities, often involving
the computer or television set.
(Chudacoff, 2007, pp. 216-7).
