Abstract

Building a modern emotional relationship between adults and children was an ongoing task for Colombian society during the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first of the twentieth. Building a strong and close tie between an interior, personal experience, its bodily expression, and specific moral values came along with a demand to adults and children for establishing a relationship in terms of respect, rationality, contempt, and a restrained expression of love. This educational goal implied economic, cultural, and social efforts and investments directed at increasing participation in international markets, labor productivity, and building a modern citizenship. Recognition of the uniqueness of childhood and the commitment of parents and teachers to provide a modern emotional setting for children required emotional efforts and practices that changed the emotional configuration of the individuals involved and provided a new emotion management regime for education.
