Why you absolutely must read my blog...

Every child is unique and has different strengths and weaknesses, different personality traits, and preferences! Some of these differences are genetically determined and, so to speak, passed down at birth from parents, grandparents, and previous generations; others are fostered and learned through the environment. There are various branches of research that have dedicated themselves to this nature-nurture debate, aiming to find out exactly "How does what develop, and why is it even that way?".

In this blog, however, we do not want to focus on the differences, but on the commonalities and the generally beneficial aspects that apply to every child – specifically those based on scientific findings.

-) How do our children become happy adults?

-) How can we best encourage our children?

-) How can we best support our children in their development?

-) What are the prerequisites for healthy development in the first place?

-) How can we help you with challenges?

All questions that you ask yourself again and again as a parent!

When most people think of psychology, they think of Sigmund Freud sitting in a big, comfortable armchair in front of you, you pouring your heart out to him, and him treating and "curing" you. Admittedly, this image of psychology is not entirely wrong, haha... but not entirely right either! Psychology deals not only with pathological disorders and the healing of illness, but also with happiness research, living a successful life, and fundamental health-promoting aspects. Very few people know this, but it has always been the perspective that I personally have liked most about psychology. Because why do I have to become sick first in order to be cured later? Why can't someone just show me how to stay healthy and what is needed for that?

And that is exactly what I would like to bring closer to you in my blog.

Happy reading,
