The 'brave' man in the early years (0-8)

More about the book

The exploration of male role models in early childhood education highlights the complexities surrounding their influence on boys' development. Through interviews with men in the sector, the research uncovers varied interpretations of what constitutes a role model, shaped by context and personal expectations. It challenges the assumption that only men can fulfill this role, suggesting that both genders can be effective role models. Additionally, while policies advocate for the positive impact of male role models, findings indicate that their influence can sometimes be detrimental.
