The Covid-19 pandemic has changed children's lives. This paper presents the changes during the pandemic of children’s well-being, relationships and everyday activities from the perspective of six to twelve-year-olds in Luxembourg. The data draw on interviews carried out in 2020 and standardised surveys in 2020 and 2021. The results show that all children were affected by the pandemic but experienced it differently. Many children expressed fears and worries right at the beginning of the pandemic and these emotions intensified over time. Their leisure time activities shifted from more outside to more domestic activities during the pandemic which in our view corresponds to an intermediate “domestication of childhood”. The survey in the summer of 2021 confirms that many of these changes remained or intensified. [less ▲]

Based on methodological considerations concerning the possibility of observing the constitution of childhood in social pedagogy, the paper explores the specific means of addressing children as children in socio-pedagogical practices. The analysis reflects empirical data from an ethnographic study in Maison relais pour enfants which unite two different educational fields under one roof: the field of early childhood education and the socio-pedagogical field of out-of-school care for children over 3. The specific form of the social-pedagogical constitution of childhood is, then, reconstructed by contrasting two different ways of addressing children: as developing children and as problem children [less ▲]
