Abstract

Lew-Levy and Amir propose that children develop meaningful cultures with the potential to undergird lasting and meaningful societal change. Identifying the domains in which this claim has traction is necessary if we are to accept that there is something special about childhood cultures that transcends considering them as fleeting expressions of an immature life stage.
