How to involve toddlers in the rules

It is important when setting up rules – spoken and unspoken – that nothing is regulated over the children’s heads. Because even very young children can get involved and have the right to have a say. This also applies to young children who cannot yet express themselves in words. For your part, great sensitivity is required.

Children who started their lives in our clinic will be happy to come back later if problems arise. Families appreciate that we treat their children with love and commitment in a very familiar atmosphere.

The attitude that hygiene and treatment of milk teeth can be neglected because "they fail anyway" is wrong. Apart from the bad pain that a sick tooth can cause your child: a carious milk tooth can have long-term unpleasant consequences.
Caries bacteria are "contagious", i.e. they are transferred to the other teeth, even the permanent ones. It is particularly unfavorable if a tooth gap is created too early due to untreated caries. The milk teeth play a major role in learning to speak and eat. They should be firm, complete and healthy at this stage.

Vacation and life on the island with the knee psand

Surrounded by marshland and the vastness of the dunes, Norddorf lies in the north of the island of Amrum. The place is clear, down-to-earth and mostly built on with buildings of more recent origin. Large parts of the village were destroyed by a fire in 1925, and the residents were prompted to undertake the reconstruction without the traditional thatched roof at favorable and fire-resistant conditions. What distinguishes the place today?

Norddorf can look back on a long tradition as a health resort, especially for the weakest members of our society, the children. The first Children’s clinic opened its doors here in 1890, today the AOK’s extensive grounds characterize the northwestern edge of the village. This is a mother-child-clinic, which provides space for relaxation and healing for around 150 mothers and their children.

Once you have found a suitable apartment, the next step is to convince the landlord or broker. However, due to the large number of competitors, this is easier said than done. Because nowadays, an apartment tour is like an interview. Therefore, you should show your best side as a potential tenant. If you follow the 10 tips below, you are already one step ahead of many competitors.

Before the visit

You should act in a targeted manner the first time you contact the landlord. Indecisiveness can easily be seen as a lack of interest. Ask your first questions about the apartment in a factual and friendly manner by email or phone. You may have to make a list beforehand. Then ask for a short appointment to view the apartment. Your name should be easy to understand so that the owner can remember you later. If you contact several people, create a manageable list with telephone numbers and apartment details. This way, the offers are not confused and the contact persons are not confused.
