Abstract [eng] |
The researchers of the world increasingly often state that “new children” have come with extraordinary mental, emotional, spiritual and other powers. Meanwhile the researches carried out in Lithuania more and more often convince the society that our children are “the most aggressive”, “the most unhappy” in Europe or even in the world. However, often these researches are based not on children’s but on the very adults’ opinion about them. Therefore, the scientists researching the field of childhood sometimes find it difficult to believe in the given facts because often doubts arise as to both the very culture of the researchers and their philosophy because in the countries where dominating relationships with children are authoritarian the researchers sometimes seek to “correct” or reorganise the children’s world and not to cognize it. Therefore, they particularly emphasize not positive but negative facts, phenomena of children’s life or behaviour. |
