Yes, childhood was invented in the 18th century when industrialization took place in Europe. It wasn't because they wanted to sell parents expensive ****, it was because they realized that literal 4 years olds cannot operate complex machinery to manufacture goods. Children were WORKING the same jobs as their parents regularly caused disasters where multiple people DIED. On top of that, making a child work like an adult stifles their physical and mental development, which sharply increased death rates of the youngins. The invention of childhood was an act of self-perservance (but also, of course motivated by up and coming capitalism, factory owners want to keep labour forces alive & profitable and not destroying products that are worth a fortune) Selling expensive sh*t to parents is a much newer development that happened a lot later (starting in the cold war) because of America's tendency to go apesh*t with capitalism and how they love forcing their cultural norms & values on every country they possibly can under the guise of "bringing in wealth" and "modernization".

It's interesting because the parent-child bond was nothing like it is today. Children were viewed as mini adults, purely and extension of the family working unit, especially due to the industrial revolution and the high infant mortality rates (aka. more offspring/children, but less of a bond with the children you have).
