There are beautiful and difficult moments in the life of a little bear. Fortunately, his parents are always there for him. No matter whether the little bear despairs over a difficult puzzle, is afraid to jump into the swimming lake or gets angry because he has to accept a no from his parents, he can always learn: "My parents love me. I can confide in them and feel their support." A secure bond between children and their carers is the basis for healthy self-esteem, a good way of dealing with their own feelings and for resilience. Such a bond develops in many small everyday situations, whenever children experience that their parents see them, accept them and accompany them even in difficult moments.About the authorsStefanie Rietzler and Fabian Grolimund are psychologists and authors.
