Child Views on Childhood
December 12, 2014
Learning is the best of all wealth; it is easy to carry, thieves cannot steal it, and tyrants cannot seize it; neither fire nor water can destroy it; and far from decreasing, it increases by giving.
-Naladiyar

In From My Side, Sylvia Chard and Yvonne Kogan have assembled an amazing collection of photos of children from around the world. Their purpose was to tell a story about childhood from the child's point of view. They observed...

"Most of the children are not extraordinary children, but rather children engaged in everyday life activities with adults or by themselves, in families or child care centers. The pictures invite us to think of all the children we know who are trying to make sense of their lives. We can see from the pictures how easily children share the view from their side, through the processes of noticing, investigating, representing, and collaborating. After activity we can see them pausing, reflecting, and moving on.

"So we ask that children may have the time and space to live fully with their childhood, without concerns and worries of adults — who have experienced so much more, and who fear the future so much more."





Most early childhood teachers enter the field with the goal of making a difference. If you or your peers are losing some of the initial idealism, our popular book, From My Side: Being A Child, can help you recharge your motivation. Sure to be treasured, this beautiful hardcover book celebrates the authors' lifelong travels to countries throughout the world. Over 200 full-color photographs illustrate how children learn from their environment when they are engaged in everyday life activities. Ideal for home and school, educators and parents.
