Why Victorian Parenting Would Shock Modern Parents | History for Sleep

Victorian childhood is often imagined as strict, formal, and disciplined — and many parenting practices from the nineteenth century would feel surprisingly unfamiliar to families today.

We'll discover Victorian ideas about discipline, obedience, education, affection, manners, clothing, play, bedtime, and the roles of mothers, fathers, servants, and schools in shaping childhood. As evening settles over a Victorian home and the household grows quiet, drift toward sleep while discovering how dramatically ideas about parenting and childhood have changed.
