Moreover, an ongoing discussion examines the relative merits of conceptions of childhood that rest on: (1) an understanding of the child as “being,” where the child is an independent social actor engaged in constructing his or her own childhood; (2) an approach that sees the child as “becoming,” where child is understood primarily as an adult in the making; and (3) a construction of the child as both “being and becoming,” where the child is both an active social agent and developing into a future adult (Qvortrup, 1994; Prout, 2005; Uprichard, 2008), and examines whether our conceptions of children might apply equally to adults.	cache/atpp-1173.pdf	txt/atpp-1173.txt
