Pedagogies of Kindness and Respect presents a wide variety of
concepts from scholars and practitioners who discuss pedagogies of
kindness, an alternative to the "no excuses" ideology now
dominating the way that children are raised and educated in the
U.S. today. The fields of education, and especially early childhood
education, include some histories and perspectives that treat those
who are younger with kindness and respect. This book demonstrates
an informed awareness of this history and the ways that old and new
ideas can counter current conditions that are harmful to both those
who are younger and those who are older, while avoiding the
reconstitution of the romantic, innocent child who needs to be
saved by more advanced adults. Two interpretations of the
upbringing of children are investigated and challenged, one
suggesting that the poor do not know how to raise their children
and thus need help, while the other looks at those who are
privileged and therefore know how to nurture their young. These
opposing views have been discussed and problematized for more than
thirty years. Pedagogies of Kindness and Respect investigates the
issue of why this circumstance has continued and even worsened
today.
