The evolution of American social welfare policy has had a profound effect on the lives of children. Please discuss the historical development of child welfare provision from the colonial period through the Progressive Era. How did the changes in child welfare provision reflect changing perspectives on childhood, the relationship between the family and the government, and family roles (i.e., father, mother, child)? Where appropriate, include a discussion of the perspective of social welfare reformers and pay particular attention to the experience of “vulnerable” children (i.e., children living in poverty, immigrant children, African-American children etc.).
