Polish term or phrase: Pajdocentryzm i pajdokracja
Poniżej definicja z Wikipedii w celu objaśnienia terminu:

Pajdocentryzm (gr. παιδι – dziecko, łac. centrum – środek) – kierunek pedagogiczny przyznający dziecku centralną pozycję w procesach edukacji i opierający ten pogląd na przekonaniu o względnej doskonałości jego zadatków wrodzonych. Dlatego pajdocentryzm traktuje wychowanie jako samą tylko opiekę nad samorzutnym rozwojem dziecka, do którego należy dopasować programy, metody i organizacje pracy dydaktyczno-wychowawczej. Jednocześnie pajdocentryzm nie docenia roli nauczyciela i społecznych uwarunkowań edukacji.

Pajdokracja - W pedagogice – przecenianie potrzeb wychowanków, wynikające z dążenia do rozwoju ich indywidualności z uszczerbkiem dla wychowania społecznego, z jednoczesnym zmniejszeniem stawianych im wymagań[1].

pedocentrism, child-centered educational approach//rule by children, paedocracy
Explanation:
Child study, also called paidology, was the attempt to apply the methods of modern science to the investigation of children in order to discover the laws of normal child development. Described as a study about a child, it was isolated and developed at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, covering the whole range of issues related to the child’s physical and mental development, as well as the application of this knowledge to the issues of education and teaching. The creation of a child-study was related to the growing interest at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the child’s social situation and its rights as well as
the development of experimental research in the field of developmental psychology [Pols, 2018; Siegel
& White, 1982].

Adams framed education in terms of individuality and self-realisation; he believed the individual child was the centre of the whole educational enterprise.608

There is no entry for kindergarchy in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). It is a hybrid from German Kinder (children) and Greek archē (power, rule). The medial -g- is reminiscent of kindergarten or oligarchy.

There are some examples of kindergarchy in Google Books. The earliest dates from 1946 and comes from Monatshefte, a magazine published by the Department of German at the University of Wisconsin. The Googlemeisters, alas, have concealed the context behind their "Snippet View."

The OED does recognize paedarchy (1830) and paedocracy (1647), which mean the same thing as kindergarchy.
