Talking to a child about difficult 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.
How to talk to your child about important things? Natalia Remish's third book raises difficult questions again. Is it normal to feel nervous in the company of strangers? What to do if your child is afraid to go to a new school? Should you force them to play sports? How do adoptive parents differ from real parents? What are gender stereotypes and should they be fought? Is there friendship between a boy and a girl?
10 stories from the lives of two children, Mira and Gosha, are accompanied by comments from psychologists and a list of questions. These questions will help discuss the problems of deception, theft, friendship, gender games - topics that every family faces.
Read the stories from the book with your child and then discuss them. At the end of each chapter there is a list of questions that will help build a dialogue with the child, and advice from psychologists. This part of the book is intended for parents. It will help you better understand the child and tell you what to do next.
