Features: When toys pile up higher and higher, when the demand for pocket money grows, and when a child's living space becomes increasingly cramped, a sense of boredom fills their room. Children do not need to see or possess everything that is marketed; otherwise, they will lose the ability to measure things and, especially, the ability to be satisfied without consumption. Children learn everything through play—in simple games, whether it's understanding intrinsic connections, learning steps, developing hands-on skills, social skills, or thinking skills. Addictive behaviors and consumption issues should actually be addressed from a child's early years, and in a non-harmful way. The author is a renowned German psychologist. From the perspectives of psychology and education, she analyzes how consumption desires arise, what hidden dangers exist, how to properly address children's consumption, how to prevent children from becoming addicted to consumption, and how to cultivate a correct consumption mindset in children. The book also provides some practical and actionable measures, such as: how to approach children who are victims of addiction, how to teach children conscious consumption and enjoyment, and how to make their playtime endlessly varied.
