This essay deals with the issue of children and stress, and the impact that stress can have on children. The purpose has been to explore how I, in my role as teacher, can prevent children from developing stress in preschool, and how I can prevent stress to develop inside of my own department. My essay is structured as follows: First, I describe my practical work with children. Then I analyze some research literature on stress, and finally I reflect over what I have described earlier and try to connect the practical with the theoretical.In the practical part of this essay I describe the various events that I have observed during my work in preschool, where I have seen how stress can affect both children and teachers. Then I describe how the increasing size of children?s groups can create stress because of the noisy environment of the department.

Denna läroboksanalys är en studie med syfte att undersöka hur stormaktstidens människor skildras i svenska historieläroböcker för mellanstadiet. Detta för att öka medvetenheten kring vad text och bild ger för information om de människor som levde under denna epok i Sverige. Metoden som använts är en kritisk diskursanalys eftersom den lämpar sig väl för att upptäcka eventuella maktstrukturer baserat på texters språkliga uttryck. I den kvalitativa analysen ingår 8 böcker som riktar sig till mellanstadieelever och de kapitel som behandlats är de som berör tiden mellan 1611 och 1718. De böcker som analyserats visar i både text och bild att stormaktstiden i Sverige anses vara en viktig epok i svensk historieskrivning.
