Today we talk to Kevin Zwerg - a future lawyer - about the values of discipline and reliability. Are these values important at all in education and how much of them do I have to pass on to my child? I think the topic of values is one of the most important areas in the raising of a child - the question behind this is, of course, how should my child interact with the environment? And it is precisely these thoughts that we want to take a closer look at today and talk to Kevin about his experience in this area. Enjoy listening, we look forward to your feedback.

A very special experience, especially in this fully digitalized world is to go to the theater. Especially for children, it's something completely new and really special.

How do you find the right piece for a performance? What is it like for you to work with children? Enjoy listening, we look forward to your feedback.

"But not like that!" or "Did you have to do that now?!". Being a parent is not easy, you always have to see what your child does and how you react to it. Logically, he or she makes a lot of mistakes at the beginning. But that's what being a parent is all about! That's what makes you, the accompanying mistake-making. The following questions we clarify in this episode: What is so important about mistakes? Why you as a parent should allow mistakes instead of forbid them? What you can do well as a parent to support your child. Enjoy listening, we look forward to your feedback.

Our environment is worth protecting, and that's exactly what we talked about with Hanna Tofts today. She introduced us to her project, with which she draws attention to plastic on our beaches and actively does something against it.

Today we talk with Hanna Tofts about our environment and what is her motivation for creating.

Spontaneously express emotions? Or a deeper question: How can I express my feelings and my condition? Especially as children there are still no or hardly any social inhibitions learned. Also, to a certain extent, the understanding of the other person and the cause - effect principle is missing. That's why (some) children sometimes just start singing! Totally indignant, they dispense their feelings and thoughts. Logically, as a parent you are sometimes overwhelmed for a moment. Today we talk with Karin about children, more specifically, about singing and what it means for a child. Karin is a passionate choir director and mother and talks about her experiences with singing. The following question we will talk about today: What is the best way to sing? Why do children like to sing so much? What does it mean for children to just sing? How do I deal with it when my child just sings away? Enjoy listening, we look forward to your feedback.

We talk about the following question: What is the path to becoming an actor? What does it mean to work with children and young people in theater? Why is theater so important for children and young people? Have fun listening, we look forward to your feedback.

"Mom, read me another bedtime story!" And which book should you pick then? Preferably a heartwarming one, with beautiful illustrations. And that's exactly what we did with Valley by the River. Just brought a beautiful children's book, which has actually been around for so long, into the world and published it. In this podcast episode we talk about the whole process, what does it actually mean to publish a children's book and what did we actually do for it?

Behind every person who believes in them self is a parent who believed first. And that's what we're talking about today with Jenny England, what it was like for her to grow up as Joan Lingard's daughter and carry these works with her. She told us what it was like to grow up with such strong role models, to have so many exciting books at home and even what it was like to read her mother's books in school.

Baby observation. What is that actually? We asked ourselves the same question before recording this episode of the Children and Books PodCast. After this conversation with Gisela Klinckwort about her experiences with baby and infant observation, we were thrilled.

Why is it done? Gisela Klinckwort has given us great answers and opened up a new world. We hope you enjoy listening and look forward to your feedback :D
