This work are based on two different stories which both describes the challenges in incorporating the children in work. In the first story we meet a 7-year-old girl, Nina. She is misunderstanding an art assignment. She is interacting with the pedagogue that is trying to understand what made Nina choose that specific picture. This pedagogue is doubting her teaching methods when she is faced with the fact that she does not understand Nina. In the second story we meet another child, Joel. Joel is faced with a punishment due to disobedience and the child is therefore risking to be excluded from a specific activity that he has looked forward to. The main point with this essay is to reflect and problematise in how our actions of participation with the children effects our work. We have used a hermeneutic method, based on reflection and interpretations of the stories. In our study, we have chosen to immerse ourselves in the concept of inclusion, what affects us as educators in our work on inclusion and the importance of our experience in this work.Our conclusion is that, despite all the knowledge and the experience we dedicated ourselves, we end up in situations where we do not know how we should act. But by reflect, discuss and share research and literature we will be able to get support on how we can deal with the dilemmas we encounter.
