The Pedagogy of Tenderness arose in the context of internal conflict in Peru. A group of teachers was searching for an answer to the violence and indifference affecting their lives and those of their students. The approach holds a respectful and integral view of children, taking into account not only their cognition but also their everyday experiences, their emotions and their interpersonal relationships. The idea was and is developed by coworkers of the Movimiento de Adolescentes y Niños Trabajadores Hijos de Obreros Cristianos (Manthoc) and IFEJANT, two organizations that support working children in their struggle for their rights. It has roots and related movements in other countries with similar experiences.
