Erziehung ist Begegnung

How do pedagogical models become effective in everyday life with young children? How can living together succeed? Wolfgang Saßmannshausen looks at education as an art of living and unfolds its potential from the perspective of mutual interpersonal encounters - because both children and adults are above all one thing: people in the process of learning and developing. In a dance of longing and trust, they play around each other in their unmistakable individuality based on freedom and explore the possible between past-saturated experience and the impulses from the future. For education to become present fulfilment, it requires the willingness to listen to the flow of time and to seek and open the gateway to the future with head, heart and mind. In this book, the author shows how the search can succeed from his many years of experience. "Children meet us as we are and at the same time speak to us that we can become who we want to be." Wolfgang Saßmannshausen.
