Romans always kind to the children?

The Romans had a complex relationship with children, reflecting their societal values and norms. While many families cared for and cherished their children, especially within the context of family and community, societal expectations often placed heavy burdens on them as they grew older, particularly in terms of education and responsibilities. Additionally, the treatment of children varied significantly based on social class; wealthy families often provided better care and education than those from lower classes. Overall, kindness towards children was present, but it was intertwined with the broader cultural and social practices of the time.
