This supplementary volume to the book "Girls and Boys Discover Their History," also published by Beltz Juventa, is a treasure trove for anyone working and living with children who are separated from their birth families. The authors provide concrete guidance on how to explain complex issues precisely (e.g., Why am I in a children's home?). They justify when, why, and how a child should be confronted with difficult facts about their background. They demonstrate how to find appropriate words for challenging life events—such as abandonment, domestic violence, alcohol exposure during pregnancy, a parent's mental illness, and other "difficult truths"—and present various methods for practical implementation.
