"Våga göra olika" : En vetenskaplig essä om hur vi bemöter barn i förskolan

Sammanfattning: This essay is about treatment in preschool and how important it is that we dare to do different based on each child's needs. I sometimes get the feeling that we educators in preschool, have alittle too much of the idea that the working methods we use should suit all children. Dealing with children and adults differently should be a matter of course, especially when we work inpreschool and school. What I mean by daring to do different, is that we need to have the knowledge to see each individual's needs to be able to respond in a clear way so that everyone is understood. According to the Education Act, we must “take into account the different conditions and needs of all children”(Skolverket 2018, p. 6). Which we do if we do not treat all children in exactly the same way, but dare to use different approaches. My dilemma, which I describe in different situations, is when children receive a treatment that does not benefit them and where we educators do not think about or do not have the knowledge of how we should do. The purpose I have with my essay, is to come up with an approach that we can use in the work team, to help the children who for various reasons "worry" us educators. I have tried to go more in depth in our Curriculum for preschool, to get a clearer view of ourmission. What I see and hear in my business has made me curious about how we interpret it and whether it can be used as an argument for me as a preschool teacher in a work team.  The method I use in my thesis is scientific essay writing, where I will be able to come up with how to understand my dilemma better, to be able to handle it in my future professional life. I do this through reflection with supervisors, course participants, literature and with myself.
