Abstract
In the book Nordic Childhoods and Early Education, Kristjansson (2006) makes an analysis of the Scandinavian welfare systems. His basic assumption is that the present is born in the past, which is why it is important to consider the historical roots of the Nordic countries’ welfare systems to be able to understand what child perspectives and children’s perspectives mean in this book.
