Maya Children Today
Maya populations are present today in many areas of Central and South America, such as Guatemala. There is limited research on the lives of Maya children, mostly because developmental research has primarily involved European-American children. However, it is evident that the goals for Maya children's socialization and daily activities differ from those of other cultures, especially those that are most studied.

Famous quotes containing the words children and/or today:
“How inimitably graceful children are in general before they learn to dance!”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
