About Infancy

We consider a kid, boy or girl, every person who isn´t already eighteen years old. That tells us that, for one side, childhood is obligatory, and, in the other side, that is insubstantial, because it ends from one day to another, from one day to another we leave being a kid, and start being an adult. That shows us that Infancy ends up being, therefore, a distinction purely age-based. However, in our daily life we use these concepts with a lot of different meanings.

We find out with a reality in which we should assume a role depending of the age that we have, in which we don’t have another chance more than keep reproducing the actual stereotype of an adult or a child. We should remember that language makes a big part of our reality, a reality determined from the meanings that we use to describe it, reality in which an adult becomes an authority of the child. He is the one than cans decide, give orders, punish, educate, and speak for him. Maybe that’s the reason that makes adults so different and opposite of the kids, because the concepts that defines them makes an immediate difference between the ages of each one.
