The Child Interpreter - What your child feels and thinks and how you can deal with it

  • For more ease and relief in everyday family life
  • Better understanding through a change of perspective: the world from the child's point of view

Let the child interpreter 'translate' your child's feelings - and parenting becomes child's play.

The time we spend with our children can be so beautiful, vibrant and inspiring. But when parenting comes into play, the fun quickly ends.
Claudia Schwarzlmüller, a child psychologist, breaks with the usual guidebook style by letting a child she calls Alex experience his development from baby to schoolchild. The reader experiences the world from Alex's point of view, getting a feel for a child's perception without lecturing. This gives parents a comprehensive insight into all areas of development such as thinking, playing, relationships, movement and speech at their child's age. In a relaxed and entertaining way, the child's behaviour is 'translated' by the child interpreter. In addition, the concept of leading and following moments, which has been tried and tested worldwide for decades, provides parents with an approach to parenting that is easy to understand and can be put into practice in everyday life.
