Mimmi Norgren Hansson explores the essential aspects of respect and empathy within the context of research involving children. While empathy in interviews commonly revolves around recognizing and understanding participants’emotions and experiences, this chapter seeks to broaden the scope by highlighting the significance of respecting and appreciating children’s analytical abilities and statements. Drawing inspiration from a memorable encounter with twelve years old Chloe, the author incorporates her analysis of care as a preface to the argument.
