Was kribbelt da so schön?

How does the baby get in the belly? What feels so nice down there? Body knowledge and sexual education are important from the very beginning to empower children. This way, even the youngest children develop a good sense of self-worth and body awareness and can articulate their boundaries. But how can parents support them in their sexual development in an age-appropriate way without overwhelming them? How should one respond to doctor play, incidents among children, and self-stimulation? How can one protect their child from sexualized violence?

Sexual educator and therapist Magdalena Heinzl demonstrates what contemporary sex education looks like and provides parents with 80 answers to curious children's questions when they themselves are at a loss for words. She also encourages parents to reflect on their own taboos and shows how they can remain trustworthy confidants for their children, even when the conversation becomes awkward. Topics such as consent, media handling, and healthy body perception are also addressed.

This book contains reflection questions, suggestions, exercises, and above all, well-founded knowledge, all written in a light and engaging style. Parents and others can hardly ever learn enough about this topic! It is an important book.

Where adults may lack the words, Magdalena Heinzl explains what children need to feel well-informed and confident as they explore the topic of sexuality and to be better protected from abuse. A helpful book for parents, educators, and anyone else who wants to empower children in their psychological and sexual development.
