Children’s books with a psychotherapeutic effect

MOSCOW. Scooter Publishing House has released new books by Anne Fine, David Almond, Benjamin Ali, Daria Wardenburg.

Adults always have no time. They are constantly busy with something: making money, wars, repairs, weeding beds, searching for a second half and a new job. There is also an item in this list about the birth of children and their upbringing. A positive result is not guaranteed. Lack of time, lack of knowledge and unconditional love for the child. A look at him through the prism of their own ambitions and delusions. Food in the refrigerator, a key on the neck, unanswered questions, empty promises, undeserved insults.

Children need understanding and warmth no less than a hot lunch and new jeans. Many tragedies and breakdowns could have been avoided, if in time there were a reliable shoulder of a wise and loving adult. Alas…
