Interactions like these-spontaneous and pleasurable-are no longer encouraged in American early childhood classrooms, and in some cases they are forbidden. The quality of the lives of our children and their teachers is thereby diminished, contend the contributors to this timely book. In response to much-publicized incidents of child abuse by caretakers, a "moral panic" has swept over early childhood education. In this book, experienced teachers of young children and teacher education experts issue a plea for sanity, for restoring a sense of balance to preschool, nursery school, and kindergarten classrooms.The contributors to this book explore how caretakers of preschool children and other adults have overreacted to fears about child abuse. Drawing on feminist, queer, and poststructural theories, the authors argue for the restoration of pleasure as a goal of early childhood education.Child developmentUnited StatesChild psychologyUnited StatesEarly childhood educationMoral and ethical aspectsUnited StatesEarly childhood educationSocial aspectsUnited StatesPleasureMoral and ethical aspectsUnited StatesSex (Psychology)Teacher-student relationshipsUnited StatesChild developmentChild psychologyEarly childhood educationMoral and ethical aspectsEarly childhood educationSocial aspectsPleasureMoral and ethical aspectsSex (Psychology)Teacher-student relationships372.2/1Tobin Joseph Jay254670MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813781903321Making a place for pleasure in early childhood education4102853UNINA
