Nurturing a sense of fairness in children

Abstract

We often struggle with the concept of fairness. Fairness is about equity, and for some equity means all being treated the same. However, we know that treating every child in the same way is not equitable. All children have different needs, and treating them all the same actually ignores the needs of many.
