Love as a Pedagogical Component

Writing about this theme as a pedagogical component is challenging and at the same time of great importance, both professionally and personally. Although the issue of loving kindness has already been discussed by some authors and is already the practice of some educators, love is still a block in the daily lives of many others. Loving kindness is a topic that is rarely addressed in educational lectures, educational talks and pedagogical meetings. The book aims, through studies, theoretical support, research and classroom practice, to show that it is possible to reconcile love and pedagogical competence, without one disregarding the importance of the other; to demonstrate and encourage the teacher, the educator, you who take part in everyday school life, especially in early childhood education, not to be afraid to express, in your educational acts, the love and affection you feel for each student; to contribute to many professionals involved in the educational context overcoming obstacles, fear when the subject involves feelings, affections and the teacher’s authority.
