    • Sociologists believe that childhood only exists because of the way society has created it.
    • There is no factual age at which childhood stops.
    • We can prove that childhood is a social construct by looking at 3 categories:

      • Differences in childhood between societies.
      • Differences in childhood within a society.
      • Differences in childhood over time.
