A cult book on parenting that changes the perspective on the child and on oneself alongside them.
«How to Love a Child» — the main work of the outstanding educator, writer, and doctor Janusz Korczak, which has become a classic of world pedagogy. He was one of the first to speak about children's rights and proved his beliefs with his own life.
Even in the early 20th century, Korczak changed the very approach to upbringing: he saw in children not «future adults», but personalities — with their own feelings, dignity, and the right to be heard. His ideas were ahead of their time and still sound remarkably modern.
This is not a collection of ready-made advice, but a deep and honest conversation about childhood, respect, trust, and the responsibility of adults alongside children. The book helps to look at the relationships between children and parents differently — without pressure, moralizing, and templates.
The book will help you:
- see a personality in the child, not an object of upbringing;
- better understand children's feelings, fears, and reactions;
- abandon myths about «correct» upbringing;
- build relationships based on respect and trust;
- look at your own role alongside the child in a new way.
The edition comes with a preface by a family psychologist trusted by millions, — Vika Dmitrieva.
