A few the children had no voice. They did not have as much room to develop, to have ideas, and as far as possible, to carry out activities within their homes with a little more autonomy. Some children in the past even worked, at the behest of their parents, to help their families.
Nowadays, with the advent of laws for children and adolescents, they are more protected, and do not work. They study, they play, they develop. The major question about the changing role of children in families is that they have greater autonomy now to learn, to form their opinion. All this, due to the advent of technology and the technological boom. Always with parental authorization and control, they can access social networks, express their opinion. They can read on the internet, that is, they can do everything adults do. That has brought a massive impact to the families, positively.
