Our essay begins with two experience-based stories where we want to discuss problems that may arise during personal meetings in preschool. What we have experienced, and which also occurs in the stories is that meeting situations often loses focus and the main subject often gets overlooked. In this essay we have focused on the adults in preschool, teachers who meet every day and the tools we can use to be able to familiarize and understand the interaction between these. The purpose was to investigate and try to understand why conflicts in the meeting of educators arises. The aim was also to critically examine our role and our actions in the stories.

Important concepts and investigating issues of our essay is teams and responsibilities, language and communication and how differently we can perceive the same thing. Another important concept to discuss in a profession that is characterized by close relations are power. Ethics and its importance for understanding other people is also an important aspect. We have chosen to write this essay in the essay form, which also forms the basis for our method. Since we are constantly reflecting about this, it was natural to have a hermeneutic approach where understanding is the foundation for our thoughts and reflections. We reflected on our own actions, but also try to put us into and understand how the other people we work with thought and acted. What is the basis for our own actions and why act the people that we describe in our stories as they do?
