Children about important things. About Dima and others. How to talk about difficult topics

Poems once written by Natalia Remish for her daughter became the script for an animated film that gathered hundreds of millions of views online. The themes that concerned one mother turned out to be important for many parents and children.
Despite the apparent ease, a child's life is full of conflicting situations. They face difficult questions every day. «Are we poor? The boy can't walk, is he sick? Why don't they want to be friends with me? I won’t play with her, she’s not Russian». Children touch on «uncomfortable» topics, and it can be challenging for parents to find the right words.
This book is an opportunity to spend time together with children and an easy way to discuss difficult questions with them. The author raises 5 important topics: attitudes towards old age, people with developmental disabilities, representatives of different nationalities, material values, and friendship.
Experts in child upbringing, such as Irina Mlodik, Anna Bykova, Andrey Maximov, and multiparous mother Natalia Vodianova, also express their opinions in the book. The illustrated poems are written in a simple and child-friendly language. Don’t be afraid to speak openly with your child, and then answers to the most complex questions will be found in childhood still.
