Annette Drüner invites educationalists to combine empathy and specialist knowledge in order to act sensibly and thus create a relaxed, relational and happy learning environment for children. What is the key to early childhood care where the little ones really feel feel good and learn enthusiastically? For the author it is the relationship between the child and the educator. If the child's learning process is not tied to speed and rigid performance expectations, but is geared towards the real needs and interests of the children, many happy moments of closeness and experiences of success can arise. This book is based on empathy exercises, topic-based knowledge transfer and numerous practical examples the connection of knowledge and empathy and paves the way to a harmonious and constructive cooperation.
