Contemporary theorists believe that childhood is :
Answer: D
Contemporary theorists see childhood as variable and dynamic.
Present-day views treat childhood as a social construction: what childhood is, how long it lasts and what children are expected to do differ across cultures, classes and historical periods, and children themselves are seen as active agents. So childhood is variable and changing, not a single fixed stage.
The other options are older views. Seeing childhood only as a waiting room for adulthood, or merely a transitional stage, ignores its value in itself. Linking it with divinity, purity and goodness is the romantic view associated with writers such as Rousseau, not the contemporary one.
