Omsorgens två motpoler: brist och överdrift : En essä om pedagogernas uppdrag om att stödja barn i deras socialiseringsprocess i balansen mellan omsorg och lärande

Sammanfattning: This essay begins with two stories that depict children with both a lack of care and care in exaggeration. My purpose with essay is to make socialization visible by discussing these scenarios and show how it is affected by both the lack of care and exaggeration of it. This is done by reflecting on and examining how the children in my stories are affected in the socialization process by their parents actions and decisions. But also taking in the educators' view of socialization and the importance of care for the child's well-being and opportunities for learning. As an educator, I Believe that we need to make visible and reflect on the cases that I have presented in my stories. This is to gain a better understanding of how we should respond to children whose social ability is reduced due to both lack of care but also excessive care. I will compare the care the children receive and how this goes together with socialization and also even why the subject is so difficult to talk about in preschool. Otherwise, I will reflect on my questions regarding the educators' knowledge, attitudes and responsibilities. The essay's structure is based on my stories. I will reflect and deepen the reflections by linking them to literature such as "social handling, sociala relationer" and to Mie Josephson's dissertation "Det ansvarsfulla mötet".
