Children and political violence
With the whole world embroiled in war, a conference was held at the White House, in January 1940, and a report 'Children in a Democracy' subsequently published. Shortly after, a child psychologist, Despert (1942), reviewing the proceedings, reported that she found the study to be 'disappointing' in so far as psychological considerations were concerned, with only one short chapter, 'The Child in the Family', dealing with children's emotional needs (Despert, 1942, p. 33). Why was this? There is nothing new about political violence. For centuries children have been exposed to its dangers in one form or another. The history of many countries is a long recitation of wars. On this subject millions upon millions of words have been written. Reading such history books, however, one gets the impression that the world of political violence is largely a world of adults, indeed a world of adult men.
