All children's names have been changed.

Example by Inge Förster, Aachen

Felix (4;8) perceives his surroundings rather attentively and in great detail. He immediately notices the slightest change in the rooms of our kindergarten: “You have tidied up your desk…”, or outside: “There is a new plant on the shelf with the herbs, when did you plant it?” …, or with people: “… is wearing a new pair of jeans …” and so on.

He also likes to reflect on the way other children play and ponders their motives. His own feelings and moods and also those of the other children are recognized and named quickly: “… doesn't want to play any more, because he doesn't like playing the cat all the time. He'd rather play the father and boss everybody around…”
