This book is neither a guide nor a manual for methods. Rather, it focuses on the thoughts, questions, and discussions of siblings. It presents developments that have been supported and made possible through guidance, through their own words that need to be understood, and through stories they have written over the years. This book invites us to listen and to question. When you speak, you merely repeat what you already know. But when you listen, you may learn something new. (Dalai Lama) The question is more important than the answer. (Janusz Korczak) With this approach to educational work, following the thoughts of Janusz Korczak, it illustrates the opportunities and possibilities siblings have when they are accompanied in groups and have the time to find their own path. The title, a statement from a 14-year-old sibling, indicates that they are still not considered in the contexts in which they live, as would be necessary: "How, when, how much - why. I sense many questions waiting for answers, doubts demanding clarification. And I respond: 'I don't know.' I don't know and cannot know how unknown parents can raise an unknown child under unknown conditions - I emphasize can - not want - and also not should." I want people to understand that no book, no doctor (no educator) can replace one's own attentive thoughts, one's own careful observation. Whenever you put a book down and begin to weave your own thoughts, the book has achieved its intended goal. If you quickly flip through pages, searching for rules and recipes and getting frustrated that there are so few, know that if there are any advice and hints, they do not align with the author's intent.
