The theorist Philippe Aries argued that in the middle ages there was no such thing as childhood, and that children were treated as adults both legally and in employment (Cunningham, 2014).

Not every play ground consists swings and slides and not every child enjoys the same thing as another person when they were younger.

In the 1980s, there has been an important change of trends in the work of childhood sociology. Prout (2016) states that the adjustment of structural perseverance regarding children’s power was characterized by the acceptance of social constructionism. Throughout the time where biological immaturity was acknowledged as a common ground, childhood was recognized as a social and cultural experience indicated by geographical and historical differences (Heywood, 2013). The shift to social constructionism
entails an early successive (sequential) bilingualism process, but also how this process contributes to better skills' development. Following early childhood bilingual continuum, children who get to acquire an additional language are more competent that those who do not have the opportunity to do it.

In this writing, the roles of early childhood teachers will be listed
