In their new practical handbook, „Gesprächsführung mit Kindern und Jugendlichen“ , the two authors demonstrate how subtle nuances in word choice can have a significant impact when working with children and young people. Conversation is more than just a technique: it is relationship-building. 

Using case studies, the book highlights how (aspiring) professionals can remain capable of acting, even in challenging situations, through an appreciative attitude, authenticity and empathy. At its heart is the realisation that language not only conveys information, but also shapes the relationship with children and young people – and thus has a decisive influence on their developmental processes.

The practical handbook „Gesprächsführung mit Kindern und Jugendlichen“ is now available in bookshops.
