geography of children  

Definition

  • Geographers began researching the worlds of children during the mid-20th century, but it was not until recently that the notion of children's geographies developed as a coherent aspect of the discipline. Earlier work documented regional variations in child welfare or, spurred by the growth of behavioral and perceptual geography, focused on children's mapping abilities and environmental competences.
