best infant wooden toys image
mommy to b
I am using mineral oil but thought if I could use oils that would darken/stay the same color on different parts it would be neat, I can only do edible ones as my 7 mo old chews on everything
I am using food grade mineral oil and fresh linseed oil(gotta go to the store for that one still only in health places) both are highly edible and are what the organic wood toy manufacturers use, thanks for the ideas I will look them up
Answer
Something you may already know.
"Boiled" linseed oil contains petroleum distillates and metallic elements.
You don't indicate that you use this type.
Tung oil, as is sold on most shelves is a combination of driers and polyurethane.
I wonder if dipping the parts into heated beeswax would achieve the darkening after removing the cooled solids.
Might be fun to try.
Just hope it doesn't give the infant a buzz.

What are the kinds of treatment children get from people, government and the like before?

If possible the period must be before, during or after the middle ages. I need help for my research paper. By the way, when I say treatment, I mean if they are harassed, maltreated, taken care of and others. Please give links. Thanks!
Answer
Medieval laws existed to protect the rights of orphans. Medieval medicine approached the treatment of children separately from adults. In general, children were recognized as vulnerable, and in need of special protection.

During the Middle Ages, children born with physical defects or behavioral abnormalities were often viewed as evil or the product of supernatural forces. Changelings were infants believed to be exchanged in the still of the night by devils or goblins who removed the real child and left the changeling in its place.

Many women from rich backgrounds would have married when they were teenagers. Medieval society had a different outlook to children when compared to today. Children from poor families would have worked from the earliest age possible and they were treated as adults from the age of ten or eleven. Many girls from poor families did not get married until they were in their twenties. Girls from richer families tended to marry earlier than girls from poor families. The poorer families needed as many working for them as was possible, so a daughter getting married at an early age would have deprived them of a worker. This was not true for a rich family.

In noble and bourgeois families , the children were often also an instrument to enlarge family’s holdings and wealth through advantageous marriages. Thus parents often arranged marriages of their children while they were only infants. http://www.medievaltimes.info/medieval-life-and-society/children-in-the-middle-ages.html
If the child lived through the first year, it was soon walking and talking. Young children would have been given small chores like feeding the chickens or washing the dishes, but were otherwise free to play up until the age of around seven. Peasant children whose families were almost always poor wouldn't have had many toys. Fathers and older siblings might make a child a wooden spinning top, a doll, or a set of blocks. Most of the time though, children played with what was available and used their imaginations.
Around the age of seven, children began to learn what they would need to know for their adult lives. Younger male children might attend a village school run by the local church. There they would learn important prayers and songs, and a smattering of Latin and mathematics. When a male child was old enough to be useful, he would go to work with his father or another villager as an apprentice. As an apprentice, the boy would learn everything he would need to support himself and his family. Most male children, especially the eldest, worked the same job as their father. Girl children didn't usually receive formal schooling. Instead, they stayed home with their mothers and learned how to be a good housewife and mother. They learned how to weave cloth, cook, grow vegetables, make butter, clean house, tend children, and other necessary things.

Formal education was unusual in the Middle Ages, although by the fifteenth century there were schooling options to prepare a child for his future. Some cities such as London had schools that children of both genders attended during the day. Here they learned to read and write, a skill that became a prerequisite for acceptance as an apprentice in many Guilds. A small percentage of peasant children managed to attend school in order to learn how to read and write and understand basic math; this usually took place at a monastery. For this education, their parents had to pay the lord a fine and usually promise that the child would not take ecclesiastical orders. When they grew up, these students would use what they'd learned to keep village or court records, or even to manage the lord's estate. Noble girls, and on occasion boys, were sometimes sent to live in nunneries in order to receive basic schooling. Nuns would teach them to read (and possibly to write) and make sure they knew their prayers. Girls were very likely taught spinning and needlework and other domestic skills to prepare them for marriage. Occasionally such students would become nuns themselves.

Children were spanked as a means of protection rather than abuse.
