What Children Want

'Parents aren't perfect'. Understanding this as a child is a part of growing up. Passing it on to one's children is part of what it means to be a parent. As a parent, you often realise late in life what you could or should have done differently in raising your children. Perhaps only when your own children are grown up and confront you with your own behaviour, with questions or criticism about parenting. In this book, Sabine Brandt would like to show young people and parents-to-be what they can pass on to their children. It is simple things like unconditional love and a place where they can feel safe and cared for. These feelings can only be passed on if they have been experienced in the same way. After reflecting on her own childhood and an honest exchange within the family, she is convinced that this is possible.
