Why do so few men choose to teach young children? And who are the men that do so? In Uncommon Caring: Learning from Men Who Teach Young Children, the author and a group of male primary grade teachers tell their stories and offer in-depth descriptions of what it means for them to teach young children. They discuss a wide range of topics, including discipline, classroom talk, curriculum, physical contact with the children, relationships with other (female) teachers, and issues about sexual orientation that all of them - both gay and straight - must deal with. Analyzing these discussions using a post-structuralist lens, the author examines gender, childhood, sexuality, and caring in relation to primary teaching.

Filled with fascinating turns and complex questions, this book invites readers to become stronger and more fully themselves as caring persons and professionals.

About the book:This book is a collaborative attempt to give a new perspective to 'patient centered care'. Our attempt was to bring in psychological factors that can help carers realise their "healing power". To elaborate on our position, we examined ancient Indian wisdom of the mind-body-soul connection to stress management aspects. Our underlying objective is to prepare the clinical and non-clinical teams with relevant concepts of human psychology that can help them revisit or devise a patient-centric care model. The how's and whys of this approach will unfold as you get through this book. We would like to dedicate this book to all those who have braved complicated medical conditions and to their carers (clinical and non-clinical) who have stood by them through highs and lows to fight their battles.
