Walking New Paths with Children

The renowned child and youth therapist Henning Köhler outlines in his philosophically grounded, socially engaged discussions an educational approach that is not based on societal norms and constraints, but rather on the needs of the individual. Every child comes with fundamental orientations that should be acknowledged and nurtured by the adults they interact with. For parents, educators, and teachers, this requires fundamental pedagogical attitudes that allow them to provide children with the freedom to shape their own futures. Henning Köhler's last written work before his death serves as both a culmination and a summary of his educational thinking. This very accessible, brilliantly written presentation offers all those interested in education fundamental guidelines and numerous concrete suggestions for practice.
