description Drawn from Hofstede's (2001) cultural dimension, this study aims to understand how culture plays a role in young children's views of their kindergarten experiences and communication styles in South Korea and the United States. Due to the large power distance between adults and children, children in Korea were hesitant to express critical views about kindergarten. They neutralised their dislikes and verbalised the expected group norms in order to be a good child. Critiquing universal approaches to addressing child participation rights, we argue that being responsive to cultural differences in social relationships may enable children to more freely share their perspectives. It also discusses ways to improve the quality of children's lived experiences in kindergarten by listening to children's challenges and desires in each country.[web URL: http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/our-publications/a ustrala sian-journal-early-childhood/index-abstracts/ajec-vol-41-no- 1-march - 2016/children-voice-kindergarten-experiences-cross-cultural- explora t ory-study-korea-us/] Reproduced by kind permission of the Australian Early Childhood Association, Inc.
