Here's an intelligent answer:
Before Industrialisation, children, as young as toddlers were expected to work to help earna family wage, they were educated if they could afford it and trained to join the literate workforce. Then Capitalism really hit in and suddenly young people became little social projects for the state to try and sell things to, market to, condition and exploit in as many ways possible. From little adults to little lab rats, children have been the experiments of our time and childhood keeps disappearing, more and more, as babies now have a bigger selection than their parents with what to wear, children having sex earlier, people treating each other badly all over the place. The real question is how has the family changed and from that we can see that our values have gone down the drain and we no longer respect and cherish anyone, its a free-for-all, everyman for himself and children need to grow us fatser to keep up with new technology that further enslaves them...look at us, we can't get off this bloody yahoo answers thing...hope this helps...great quessy

We don't send kids down the mines any more. the chimneys are too narrow to send them up chimneys to clean them. We just feed them happy meals and make the little buggers miserable. But industry did mean that men could make enough money to feed their families before the Industrial revolution - kids did agricultural work and had little or no education.

Philippe Aries studied what childhood was like before industrialisation (by studying pictures etc) and observed that children were like little adults and childhood was nothing like what it is today. Children today aren't very much like adults.
