The New Paradigm of the Social Study of Childhood sees children as competent social actors. If this perspective was more widely used, how might society benefit?
Think about what it means for children to be considered ‘social competent actors’. What is so
significant about this notion? In the course we have considered again and again the place of the

studies offers to improving outcomes for children’s everyday lives in a range of different social
institutions.
