The 18th century brought a sequence of outlook changes to Europe. Although contemporary transformations occurred slowly, their scale exceeded the previously circumscribed frame. Interpenetration of various ideas and cultural achievements, as well as “transnational exchange”, supported information for the coming into existence of the first theories of childhood. One of such theories was born thanks to Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778), thanks to which the Enlightenment and the Romanticism discovered the noble savage child immersed in nature.
