Is your child suddenly having trouble speaking fluently or having trouble pronouncing sounds and syllables? This can be unsettling at first, but is not serious at first.

Stuttering in children

Stuttering is manifested by interruptions in speaking through repetitions of sounds or words and occurs in many children at a young age. There are two different types of stuttering: developmental stuttering (or developmental speech deficiency) and “real” stuttering.

Foster children and their siblings - shared or separate accommodation?

Foster children and their siblings – shared or separate accommodation?

Dr. Daniela Reimer

For many foster children, their biological siblings and half siblings are and remain highly relevant, regardless of whether they are accommodated together or separately. The article highlights which aspects are particularly important from the point of view of foster children. This is based on around 100 biographical interviews with young adults, which were conducted in various projects at the University of Siegen.

1. Sibling relationships are important for foster children!

Sibling relationships are the longest relationships in most people’s lives. Parents die at some point, marriages are only made and possibly divorced in adulthood, friends come and go. Most children grow up with their siblings. They usually belong to the same generation and share many common experiences. Even if they don’t speak to each other for years or even decades, they still remain connected as siblings.

Reading time: 3 minutes It is quite normal for children to be ill often. As they go through diseases, they strengthen their immune systems. Therefore, you do not have to protect your child from every infection. Read how to improve your child’s health.

This is how children strengthen their immune systems

What is the immune system?

The immune system is a defense against the body. All of its cells are made in the bone marrow, which are white blood cells or leukocytes. There are phagocytes, T cells and B cells. Since every cell in the body contains certain proteins, the leukocytes attack all cells and substances that do not carry these proteins. Phagocytes move between the cells in the tissue and unspecifically turn against all foreign substances (antigens) such as invaded pathogens, foreign bodies and dead body cells.

I am me - babies and children get to know their own bodies

I am I – babies and children get to know their bodies

Children experience their bodies as a matter of course. They learn that they have a nose, mouth and eyes. But also that their body belongs entirely to them – that they are an independent person and can differentiate themselves from parents and siblings.

Babies and children get to know their body naturally

Children experience who they are and what they can through their bodies. They slush with plasticine, they feel their cuddly toy, they crawl, run and climb like little world champions. You feel the tickling of Papa’s beard and cry when your knee is open. Children get to know their bodies through all these experiences. In doing so, they examine their hands and feet as naturally as their bottom or genitals.

Letter to my child

If parents were allowed to give their children advice for life, what would it be? We asked prominent mothers and fathers to write down their hopes and desires.

Confidence stirs concern

now you become mom yourself and I see how similar we are in this too. Just be pregnant and see how it goes in casual anticipation, which is not free from skepticism. I have so much to say to you and yet at least didn’t suspect anything you didn’t already know. That you can take life from the beginning, that certainty and openness are not mutually exclusive and that it is the things behind the things that produce our reality. Everything we are afraid of, you know that too, only becomes great through our fear. We should also not invite Sorge, the pale sister of fear, to our table, where another little girl will soon take her place. She will be a wonderful creature that is at your side, whose beauty you admire, whose tenderness moves you and whose future nourishes your confidence. The confidence that everything we can give turns to good in our children.

Disabled children and their non-disabled siblings

Martin R. Textor

Over the past few decades, more and more disabled children have been admitted to daycare centers – first and foremost in integrative kindergartens, then mostly through individual integration. With the legal right to a childcare place from the age of one, more one- and two-year-olds with disabilities will be supported in crèches in the future. In addition, more and more schoolchildren with disabilities will be looked after in childcare centers – due to the legal and political stipulations of inclusion in schools. Many disabled children will of course also attend day care centers with a wide age mix.
