The following website by Tim Gill has some interesting articles, video snips and conversations around the nature of childhood. Tim is a well known presenter on the topic of childhood, and challenges our thinking in regards to the nature of childhood these days, as compared to the childhood some of us remember. It is well worth a look.  http://rethinkingchildhood.com/
