Attended school for 9 hours a day
Grew up surrounded by woods, fields, and farms

Thought of as miniature adults
No concept of adolescence
Between ages 8-10, wealthy children started education. Poor children started working for/with family.
Represent innocence and naivety
Reigning kings depended on sons to uphold family rule
“A King cares for his people as a father cares for his children; and the people are supposed to act like obedient children.”
