Talking to a child about difficult and important topics is always difficult. Very often, we, parents, cannot find the right words, we make up something so as not to hurt the child's feelings, or we doubt whether it is too early for him to know about such things, and sometimes we avoid answering at all.
Here is the second book in the series "Simply about the important", which contains ten new stories about Mira, Gosha, their family and friends. The book covers such important topics:
- how to deal with anger;
- how not to allow yourself to be devalued;
- how to defend your tastes and desires;
- what to do if a friend stole your thing;
- is it profitable to lie;
- gender prejudice (can a boy wear a pink T-shirt?);
- what to do if things don’t go well;
- how to defend personal boundaries (can a stranger kiss a child on the cheek?);
- how not to get lost in the city and in the forest.
These simple and kind stories should be read together with your child. This way you will be able not only to discuss the situations described with him, but also to understand each other better, to build that very bridge of trusting relationships, thanks to which the child will always know that he is loved, appreciated at home and will always be answered honestly to any question.
"Just about what's important" are stories about family, friendship, kindness, sincerity, compassion, the ability to take responsibility for your actions and, of course, love.
Read stories from the book with your child.
Discuss with him all the situations described in the book. Ask how he would act.
At the end of each chapter you will find advice from psychologists. This part of the book is intended for parents. It will help you understand your child better and tell you what to do next.
