Taking Children’s Points of View Seriously
October 26, 2022
The moment I decided to follow instead of lead, I discovered the joys of becoming part of a small child's world.

“My view of children has been profoundly influenced by the educators of Reggio Emilia in their work promoting a strong image of the child. One of the most significant resources for me is the book Reggio Tutta. It’s a delightful, yet thoughtful guidebook to the city of Reggio Emilia, Italy, written by children. It is full of words, images, and drawings created by children to describe the city from their point of view. This book invites us to imagine how different the world might be if we really did take children’s points of view seriously in the way we plan for our communities and how we live together in the world. I’m thrilled by this notion and try to imagine how considering children’s views would impact the way we develop policy and design our communities: What changes would we make? How might the quality of our lives be different?” |
