What children need from us
This criticism is too cheap. In fact, our
entire society is creating a world that is
not in line with the species-typical
expectations of human children. Instead
of resorting to fashionable – and ever
changing – parenting advice we should
take a step back and understand what
children need in order to develop true to
their nature.
Parents cannot fix the many parenting
problems in today´s society. The whole
“village” must again take on responsibility
for its children.
