NERD_0255 Telling Children’s Stories

"There is a dominant discourse that early education is preparation for something in the future, usually stated as kindergarten; that developmental psychology with its focus on ages and stages can be a framework for early education; that children need adults to fix them; that the natural caring of others, a strength of women, isn’t important.These dominant discourses lead us away from closely examining the amazing events that happen in children’s lives every day that show how brilliant and capable young children are." (Tom Drummond)
