Isi artikel

In this article, interviews with eight managers and questionnaires from 75 practitioners are analysed to explore their perceptions of the role of pacifi ers (or dummies) within the nursery. Managers and practitioners source their knowledge from the media, family/friends, and short professional speech and language courses; however, their perceptions of pacifi ers derive from mainly contested research that has fi ltered into the public domain. This creates tensions between perceived parental rights to offer a child a pacifi er, current UK guidelines and participants’ own, often ambivalent, views. The article engages with Foucauldian concepts to explore how authoritative knowledge fi lters into everyday practice and to deconstruct relations of power within the early years setting.
