Children are widely recognised as active agents in the world, whose perspectives, experiences, and identities are worthy of attention. From this consciousness, it is also noted that childhoods are situated within, and shaped by the broader social, economic, and cultural context. An extensive body of literature has considered the experiences and identities of children in the Global North and other privileged groups. However, there has been limited engagement to explicitly acknowledge and explore what privilege means within the context of childhood. Unpacking the conceptual dimensions of privilege, rather than seeing it as a taken for granted factor shaping young people's experiences is critical. A geographical approach, which acknowledges the mutually constitutive relationship between society and space, has the potential to enable a greater understanding of privileged childhoods, both in terms of the implications for young people's lived realities, but also extending conceptualisations of privilege. Thus, this paper calls for more direct research examining socially consequential discourses that affect privileged childhoods. Potential research agendas for further geographical research exploring privileged childhoods are proposed, including examination of spatialised elements of children's everyday lives including the home, mobilities, and consumption practices
