Research paper from 2013 in the field of Education - General, grade: 1.7, Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg, language: German. Abstract: The crying of an infant is often perceived as bothersome, especially in public. People around can be annoyed by the noise, and parents may feel very desperate, often unsure of how to handle the situation and the baby. This paper will discuss that crying is the most important means of communication at this age, what it signifies, and how a toddler expresses themselves and perceives their environment. The research question is "Does a person become an I through the You? - Communication and Perception of Infants." The quote is from Christl Ruth Vonholdt, a German author and pediatrician, which I came across during my topic exploration. As I became curious about whether this formulation could be used, I began to delve into the development of communication and perception in children.
