Demokratie in Kinderschuhen: Partizipation & KiTas

How empathetic, appreciative and cooperative caretakers are in nursery schools – in their roles as teachers and learners alike – has a powerful and formative influence on the lives of the children in their custody. Participation can be experienced and understood even in nursery school; it is a positive treasure trove that strengthens children in their social development and prepares them for a life as responsible and self-determined youths and adults. Based on a humanistic view of social life, Marita Dobrick makes the case that children should always have true choices, plenty of room for making their own decisions and, if necessary, compromises. We can trust children and we can have confidence in their judgement. Caretakers who give children both roots and wings and observe their rights will lay the cornerstone for a life of democracy in our society.
