Education is primarily a matter for parents - and personal development is the first and most crucial educational method. Parents serve as the model - especially in the early years of life - that their children follow. Through a wealth of examples, the book demonstrates how parents can successfully face the challenges of everyday parenting while also growing themselves. Common scenarios of daily communication and emotional involvement, which almost everyone experiences, are described, along with potential solutions. Suggestions and concrete tips for personal growth lead to a more conscious approach to oneself and one's parenting role - even in difficult situations. This not only benefits the relationship with the children but also enhances the partnership.
