Description

At around nine years old, children begin to experience themselves as separate individuals, distinct from their parents and peers, and essentially alone. This pivotal moment is often triggered by the child's first encounter with death and the realization that earthly life is fragile and temporary. In this insightful book, Hermann Koepke explores the outer signs and symptoms of this significant turning point in every child's life.

Through a lucid and accessible description, Koepke sheds light on the inner experience of this age, where children start to question their place in the world and grapple with the impermanence of life. This book offers a valuable perspective on the developmental challenges faced by children during this critical phase.
