Strong strategies in conflict management in after school day care

There is much attention for the quality of the pedagogical vision of after school day-care (bso) nowadays (e.g. Schreuder et al, 2011). My PhD-study concentrates on social development and discourse practices of young children (4 – 7) in the bso. In this poster I will show strong strategies in conflict management of one caretaker. Strong strategies stimulate agency and autonomy of children (Mashford-Scott & Church, 2011). Weak strategies don’t. This study wants to contribute to qualitative evidence for how interactions of caretakers and children in after school day care can enable children’s social development
