Why does my child behave like this? Understanding and accepting feelings

There is a direct link between children's feelings and their behaviour: When children feel good, they behave that way. For this, they need the respect and understanding of their parents. The authors give a lot of food for thought on the most diverse areas of child rearing and show how mindful communication works.

The practical tasks in each chapter help parents and all those working in the field of education to learn and consolidate the new communication skills step by step. Fun illustrations show at a glance what the specific parenting tip is about.

From practice, for practice: Learn the language of appreciation and give your child the attention it needs to develop positively!
