Abstract	The agency concept of childhood studies in terms of considerations of children as socially competent actors has been controversially discussed in early childhood education and care (ECEC), especially with regard to the justification of children's participation opportunities in ECEC settings. Poststructuralist thinking aims at the deconstruction of such discourses as domination, power, and surveillance, through which children as addressees of pedagogical action are supposedly solely constituted. Childhood studies counter this with a new, supposedly more humane discursive reality. Children are understood as socially competent actors. This has made agency one of the most relevant concepts of childhood studies. This contribution criticizes of the epistemological, psychological, pedagogical, and ethical premises of the concept of agency. In conclusion, a connection between new child-oriented agency concepts and older educational knowledge is argued for, which emphasizes the educational responsibility of the older generation for the development and education of children.
