| Abstract | In recent years interest in children's relationship to citizenship has mushroomed. This has largely been prompted by the rise of interest in the promotion of "children's rights". However, children's relationship to citizenship, or more accurately the exclusion of children from citizenship, has formed the basis of theories of citizenship since the classic social contractarians of the enlightenment. [These theorists see children as "citizens in potentia" who have the ability "to be moulded into 'full' citizens in their adult life"] . This paper examines the nature of children's relationship to citizenship in the writings of key theorists. It also offers a critique of these theories and explores ways in which children's contributions to society can be recognised. I argue that in practice our normative assumptions about children have moved beyond the view of children in potentia towards one where children can and do participate in major decisions within the family, the law, their communities and their schools. It is therefore crucial to recognise and develop children's citizenship rights, as well as their duties, if any "citizenship education" programme is to become meaningful to young people.
