Books and literature recommendations

Books for the early years can help parents to assess the health and upbringing of their young children and to support them in their development. All recommendations and explanations are only suggestions - parents can judge for themselves what is right for their child, what is right and suitable and can be used at the moment. Accompanying the development of your child mentally and emotionally, making sure that they grow up protected in the first few years are very important elements that can all come together.


The literature recommendations are therefore suggestions. Many Thanks.

Books for rhymes and reading to your child, recommendations

Books for rhymes and reading to your child can help young children to develop their language, enjoy language with their parents, and develop a sense of security. Parents are very well able to choose the rhymes they feel are best for their child, or can get further inspiration from them. Often it is not the meaning of the rhymes that is important but the joy of saying them, running along with them, clapping along, etc.


The literature recommendations are also suggestions here. Thank you very much.


Picture books for first reading to your child and storytelling, recommendations

Picture books for the first reading and storytelling to your child can be told by parents to their young children with simple, self-invented, loving stories. Parents are very well able to invent a story for their children based on the pictures, or to imitate the sounds of the animals, nature, etc. This way, small children have a lot of fun with their parents with the stories and the language.

Picture books to help young children

Picture books as a help for toddlers can help young children to overcome and to master problems or challenges. Parents can give their children a means to look at something in a child-friendly way with the pictures.

This picture book is not translated into English. It is great to tell your child a story with this book, where the little windows in the book can be opened and explored.
