Understanding children made easy. Why do kids love to press buttons? Why do they suddenly become afraid of strangers? Why do they enjoy hiding so much – and yet are so bad at it? Our little companions are strange beings. They mostly move forward by hopping, rarely do what they're told, and want to live on pasta and sweets alone. Sandra Winkler, mother of two daughters, gets to the bottom of it: Using insights from psychology, developmental pediatrics, and neurology, she explains in a vivid and entertaining way why little ones think so differently than we do. A book that helps us understand children better and opens our eyes to the marvelous and wonderful aspects of them. - The peculiar behavior of young children scientifically decoded and told with humor. - Two-color illustrated hardcover in a special format. - The perfect gift for all parents and grandparents.
