Talking to children about boundaries and feelings

"It makes me really happy to see that educationally valuable books can also be fun. The authors have managed to package topics like crossing boundaries into entertaining and funny short stories. An absolutely successful book that not only makes room for diverse children, but also for their feelings." (Britta Kiwit, @avalino.diversity)

You know that feeling? You're having fun with your family, with friends' children, or even just by yourself – and suddenly someone else does something that doesn't feel right. The children in this book feel the same way. Tuyeni, for example, is busy organizing her cousin's birthday party when a strange woman simply grabs her hair without asking. Malina wants to bring her mother ice cream when her wheelchair is suddenly held back. And Jan's parents don't believe he can build his stilt house.

In this book, daycare children can enjoy the beautiful moments with loved ones. What happens to them can also spark conversations between the adults reading aloud and the listeners. There are prompt questions for children to help them contextualize the situations described, and information and tips from a child psychotherapist for parents or caregivers are provided. The book focuses on the children's feelings, explores respect in dealing with others, and addresses the individual, personal boundaries of each person.

This read-aloud book presents the difficult topic of aggression in a playful and empathetic way for children. Supported by prompt questions and information boxes, parents and other readers can easily address the topic of boundaries and empower children.
