Should early years practitioners 'love' the children in their care? Do you? Should you? Can you help this research?
UK: A research team at the University of Sheffield has developed a funded project which will first of all conduct a wide anonymous on-line questionnaire survey.
They want to know what early years professionals think about:
- the quality of their relationships with very young children
- the place of 'love' in those relationships
- the boundaries to those relationships
- the concerns they may have about any intimacy in early years settings
- the ways in which they define and practice appropriate loving relationships with young children in these settings
