Children’s ‘lived citizenship’ is about how all children act as members of society, every day. This study aims at exploring such citizenship, drawing on focus group discussions about injury risks and safety, with children in Sweden. The results suggest that the way children relate to safety rules and laws is closely tied to identity. The concept of ‘action zone’ is suggested for exploring children’s lived citizenship. Furthermore, it is argued that children’s claims for physical and symbolic space can be understood as actions of lived citizenship.
