Damit sie sich gut entfalten können, brauchen Kinder vor allem das Gefühl von Sicherheit und Vertrauen. Ich hab mich mit Roger Nickl der @uzh-ch.bsky.social darüber unterhalten wie Kinder glücklich aufwachsen. Sie brauchen einen Rucksack gefüllt mit VIEL Vertrauen! www.news.uzh.ch/de/articles/...

Heranwachsende suchen sich ihre Vorbilder, auch im Fussball. Manche eignen sich besser, manche sich weniger zum Nacheifern. Aber auch aus dem Umgang mit Fehlern kann man viel lernen: avenue.argusdatainsights.ch/Article/Aven...

Was brauchen Kinder, um glücklich gross zu werden? Meine Antwort dazu ist einfach: Schokolade und eine Schaufel zum Löcher graben. Was damit genau gemeint ist, beschreibt der Artikel im #UZHMagazin sehr schön! Viel Spass beim Lesen: uzhalumni.ch/news/2263607

In diesem Video beschreibt Linus, ein kleiner Weltentdecker, wie eine Studie bei den Kleinen Weltentdecker*innen abläuft. Die Studien sind spielerisch, machen Spass und die Bezugspersonen sind während der ganzen Zeit dabei. Schauen Sie sich das ganze Video an unter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCR-...

In diesem Video erzählt Natalie von einer Studie der kleinen Weltentdecker*innen, die zeigt, dass zweisprachige Kinder, im Vergleich zu ihren einsprachigen Gleichaltrigen, besser mit Missverständnissen umgehen können. Erfahren Sie mehr dazu unter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1ps...

The results of our newest study: Caregivers wearing a mask had no observable influence on infants' joint attention. Despite masked facial areas, infants successfully used other cues to communicate. This shows the impressive adaptability of infants to use social cues even in challenging situations.
