This chapter focuses on a cluster of under-explored issues relating to children’s well-being or prudential value. I examine and reject three distinct theses relating to it in the literature on well-being, namely, that children’s lives on the whole cannot go well or poorly for them, prudentially speaking; that the prudential goods of childhood count for less than the prudential goods of adulthood towards the prudential value of an individual’s life as a whole; and that children’s prudential goods are (at least in some cases) in some way special. According to my view, children’s lives can go well or poorly for them, their prudential goods do not count for less than the prudential goods of adulthood, and their basic, non-instrumental prudential goods are not themselves special.
