Reading Time: < 1 minute

I’m still thinking about using this title, The Invention of Childhood, but perhaps I am stifling myself so I have put it aside for now. However, the following image could fit and I will put it here together with others which were made with it in mind and which I’ve not included in other work.

The thing I like about this title is that it can be read as being about a social paradigm and also read in retrospect from a more personal point of view, perhaps about how individuals invent memory, or else try to recreate a ‘better’ more healthy narrative (or the opposite). It has multiple layers and connotations. I will keep working on them and adding and subtracting.
