No right or wrong

Swiss child and adolescent psychologist Philipp Ramming
In an interview in the latest issue of Vivere, the renowned Swiss child and adolescent psychologist Philipp Ramming explains why there is no right or wrong parenting.

Raising children is often hard backbreaking work and requires a lot of patience and nerves of steel - especially during puberty. In Ramming's eyes, however, the emotional bond is the decisive factor: "If parents love their children, they can still do a lot wrong, but nothing that harms the child."

Ramming goes on to explain how child education has changed through the decades from a dictatorship to a guided democracy. However, he rejects the idea that children should become the yardstick for their own education. Read more in the highly readable interview in the current EGK health magazine.
