What constitutes a 'normal' child? André Turmel examines how sequential development and statistical reasoning have resulted in a form of standardization for monitoring children. Using detailed accounts from Britain, the USA and France, he examines developments in scientific observation and public policy and how these have transformed views of childhood.
