Understanding Children

The book by Dagmar Neubronner is a brief yet rich and visually informative overview of the attachment model developed by Canadian psychologist Gordon Neufeld. As a lecturer at the Neufeld Institute, Dagmar not only fully masters the theory but, possessing natural intuition and an education in the natural sciences, presents it to the reader in a structured and accessible manner.

The great merit of the model developed by Gordon Neufeld lies in its ability to help parents regain trust in their own internal compass; it serves as a map that clarifies the feelings, developmental processes, emotions, and needs of the child. This allows parents to see potential developmental errors, problems, and ways to resolve them, and to understand why the child behaves in certain ways.

The book helps not only to see the holistic picture of personality development but also to use new knowledge in everyday life to walk alongside the child on this journey, becoming their guide and reliable companion.
