People at that time thought that children had nothing to contribute to adult conversation, and were seen as an interruption, so they should be seen and not heard. I hope this helps. Bruce |

To my way of thinking it refers to children �s behaviour. They should be seen not herd meaning they should be polite and behave well, not run around shouting, screaming and laughing loudly for instance.

Hi,
Wealthy Victorian Children rarely communicated with their parents except for a specified time each day. |
