Abstract  The purpose of this ethnographic study is to investigate how ten pedagogues’ reason and interpret about children's influence in the activities. The pedagogues that we interviewed are at different preschools that take place in a small village and a larger city in Skåne county. Our purpose of this study was to investigate and describe educators' experiences of interpreting and how they worked with the curriculum goals, regarding the influence of all children in preschool. The curriculum for preschool states that children have the right to feel participation and to exercise real influence over their everyday life (Skolverket, 2018). The study is about educators' experiences of interpreting and realizing the curriculum goals and how they enable the influence of all children and what obstacles there may be in this work. We conducted a semi-structured interview where we were able to share the experiences and thoughts of working educators through conversation. Through text analysis, we then analyze the collected empirical data. The results of the study show that in practice there are challenges in the interpretation and implementation of the curriculum's goals in terms of children's influence. The study also addresses how educators define the concept of influence and what consequences it has in the educational activities. In our study, we have used the term educators for the respondents.
