Recognised in a Quarrel? Positioning of the Child and Parent in Children's and Young People's Stories of Child–Parent Conflicts
How children are cared for, how their agentic rights are respected and in what ways they are esteemed as contributors to intergenerational relationships are important questions to consider in child‐related research. Especially in child–parent conflicts, the child's rights and the parent's responsibilities have been argued to be somewhat contradictory: parents have a duty to raise and protect their children, and children have the right to express …
Young children's narratives of exclusion in peer relationships in early childhood education and care
In peer culture, children develop social and moral orderings that justify exclusion of one or more peers – an area that has sparked debate among early childhood education groups. Therefore, the present study employed the idea of the power order or social and moral ordering of belonging to explore young children's narratives of social exclusion. We asked what story types can be identified in these narratives and how exclusion is reasoned in them. …
Educators’ responses to children’s grieving
The study explores emotional configurations that emerge from educators’ responses to children’s grieving in flexibly scheduled early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Finland. We analysed observational data of children who were under three years old and their educators, focusing on the interrelationships between the children’s grief, the educators’ sense-making, and their practices. The exploration yielded three emotional configurations that…
Children’s bodily positioning in accounts of naptime in early childhood education and care
Naptime practices of early childhood education and care (ECEC) have been found to place children’s bodies under adult governance, leaving children few possibilities for agency and influence (e.g. Kuukka 2015; Nothard et al. 2015). In this study, we explore children’s (aged five to seven) accounts of naptime in ECEC, asking how children’s bodily positioning is manifested in them. We analysed two data sets: (1) ethnographic conversations and interv…
Evening early childhood education and care
The article investigates the ongoing reformulation of the institutional culture of early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Finnish evening ECEC. Educators’ practices in implementing evening ECEC were explored and viewed through the lens of young children’s belonging. Data were collected by observing the evenings of eight children aged 20–36 months in two Finnish centers offering flexibly scheduled ECEC and analyzed using qualitative thematic…
An examination of nonresponse in a study on daily family life
The aim of this study was to look at the issue of nonresponse and self-selection bias in the context of a family study on daily family life. Data on the participating families and refusers were gathered as part of the wider Palette study in which questionnaires and diaries were used as data collection methods. On the basis of these data (N = 208 participating families and 119 refuser families), we profile the families left outside the study. The …
