Abstract	Over the past fifteen years, sociologists have mounted an influential challenge to traditional psychological accounts of childhood. The new sociology of childhood has presented a powerful critique of the developmentalist view of children as merely "adults in the making". Such a view, it is argued, judges children only in terms of what they will become in the future, once they have been adequately socialised: they are seen as inherently vulnerable, incomplete and dependent. The notion of competence has been a key term in this argument: children, it is suggested, need to be seen as autonomous agents, who are self-regulating, competent to make their own decisions and to negotiate with adults on an equal basis. This view is not confined to academic research. It is also widely recognised by professionals working in children's services; and to some extent, it has been enshrined in legislation relating to children's rights. (DIPF/Orig.).
