Show more What we can learn from children Uneducated as our children are, they are not only dependent on our care and merely take, no, they also have a lot to give us if we are prepared to perceive them as independent personalities who have not yet learned many things, but have not yet unlearned many things either. This book invites all parents to rethink their relationship with their children and to open up new fields of experience. Do we meet our child in a role as father or mother? Or can we simply reveal ourselves to the child as the person we are? What do our evaluations and judgements do and what do they say about ourselves? When we see our children as mirrors, they help us to self-knowledge. As parents, do we have to be perfect and flawless, or is it not much more important to face the child authentically and clearly? In this book, parents and all people who are responsible for children will find valuable suggestions and practical tips for making everyday life with children more loving, relaxed and growth-promoting for both sides. Because it is not only children who learn something from us adults: We adults also find sources of joy and inspiration in children! We find access to our inner child again and to an unbiased, unsophisticated approach to other people and the world.
