Abstract

The study investigates the wide range of oppositional actions one to three-year-old children employ in response to staff in two Romanian and two Danish nurseries. The nurseries have similarly structured days, and most oppositional expressions occur during
mealtime and on the playground. Generational structure is used as
the analytic frame and illustrates how children adjust, undermine or
transform adults’ requirements and rules, individually or in groups.
