Growing up a child is a big challenge. Agnieszka Stein shows how to make this time an opportunity for the development of not only the child, but also all family members.

Many parents are concerned about the moment when a child from under their protective wings goes out into the wide world. When he crosses the thresholds for the first time, when he tries to find himself in a new, not always friendly reality, when relations between peers gain importance.

Growing up a child is a big challenge. Agnieszka Stein shows how to make this time an opportunity for the development of not only the child, but also all family members.

"A child goes up close to the world" answers many questions of parents and guardians of schoolchildren. They will find hints on how to wisely help their child:

- in adaptation to school reality,

- in solving the most common school problems,

- in learning cooperation and establishing relationships with peers.

And:

- how to support children in the development of independence,

- how to prepare them for life in an imperfect world,

- how to gain confidence in your own parenting competences.

"A Child Up Close", a preschooler and school debutant from the author's first, warmly received book, is now older. However, he still needs the support of the adults who are close to him. Agnieszka Stein, referring both to the latest knowledge about the development of children at this age, as well as to her own experience in working as a psychologist at school, inspires us to look for her own path to mature parenthood.
