Age periods of life of the Eastern Slavs’ children in ethnographic studies of the 19th – first quarter of the 20th centuries

Abstract

Іn rituals our ancestors found themselves being talented educators. Educational aspects were not detached, they were implemented in actions. The ceremonial actions accompanied a child for life. In the article the author, on the basis of ethnographic sources of 19th - first quarter of 20th century analysis, has characterized features of three periods of the East Slavic child’s life. The first period of life – from one to 7 years was an important and necessary link in the process of further socialization of the child and its full inclusion into the rural society, associated with the programming of future economic activities. The main means of upbringing and socialization of the child during this period of life were communication between mother and child and a lullaby song. Caring for kids in Eastern Slavic families was often entrusted to elder children, or grandparents. The second period – from 7 to 14 years – is the period of active labor socialization of children, there occurs gender differentiation in communication. The third period from 14 to 18 years was determined by further incorporation of boys and girls into active peasant life as independent hosts and future married couples. The author has revealed age names of the Eastern Slavic child in every period of its life. In the paper it has been noted that back in the past the childhood was shorter than in the present, and children were much more likely to be involved into adult life
