4 lectures, filmed in Sweden based on Jesper Juuls international best selling book “Your Competent Child” Your competent child, history, background and science. The conflict between coopera- tion and integrity. Self-esteem & Self confidence. Social- and personal respon- sibility. Dialogue with the audience. Children are competent to express their feelings from birth, and they are eager to cooperate. It is parents who must work to listen to and learn from their children. When our children’s behavior makes us feel less than valuable, then it is almost always because we are. That is, prior to a conflict, we were unable to convert our loving feelings into loving behaviour, our good intentions into fruitful interaction. After 16 years of dialogue with his readers Jesper Juul will summarize his experiences and update the basic principles.
