Difficult Children: There Is No Such Thing, Paperback

Here is an articulate appeal for the transformation of educational thinking. Today there is a growing sense of crisis in education and child rearing. This concern arises in part because of the increasing number of children diagnosed with so-called behavioral disorders or otherwise classified as difficult children.

Henning K hler asks: Can children be called "difficult," or is it, in fact, the overall state of social consciousness that is becoming more difficult for children? He questions accepted thinking and outlines a spiritually deepened view for educating and raising our children.

Henning Koehler works as a teacher of children with special needs in the outpatient practice of the Janusz Korczak Institut (Wolfschulgen near Stuttgart), of which he is a co-founder. He wrote the much acclaimed book, Working With Anxious, Nervous, and Depressed Children (Waldorf Publications) and several other titles in German as yet to be translated into English.
