Wackeln die Zähne – wackelt die Seele

Few parents expect that the time of losing milk teeth can become a severe test of their relationship with their child. The book gives helpful tips on how best to get through this time. Many parents know from their own experience that children from around six and a half years old are often particularly difficult and that clear changes are taking place in and around them. All of this is a sign that this time is accompanied by far more profound steps of development than just the outwardly visible emergence of the permanent teeth.

The Waldorf educator Monika Kiel-Hinrichsen and the dentist Renate Kviske want to build a deeper understanding, from both an educational and a dental point of view, of what is happening in children during the transition into the second seven-year period, and give parents concrete help with parenting advice, play ideas and practical tips, for example on choosing suitable fairy tales, so that they can make this step into a new stage of life easier for their children.
