The program in childhood studies promotes the study of the lives and experiences of children from a multidisciplinary perspective that emphasizes viewing children as active participants in their own worlds as well as the worlds of others. It is understood that children are capable of interpreting the behavior of others and forging a course of action based on those interpretations. The field of childhood studies is designed to provide instruction and information to everyone interested in children and childhood, including those directly responsible for ministering to children's needs and those formulating policies affecting their lives and futures.
