Abstract
This article introduces two ideas with contractive affects and effects the - "shadow adults cast over childhood" and the "pedagogy of fear". These act to order and frame the conceptual problems that the traditional educational system poses. There is an offering solution, one that is based on a Philosophy with/for Children (PwC/P4C). While both limit and contract the space children inhabit, PwC/P4C is an active, dynamic pedagogy that illuminates the child's world.
