Free play
Not a ground-breaking innovation, but rather a reminder of what you should focus on in everyday life with children. Inspired by a quote from the educationalist Friedrich Fröbel, a plea for free play.

Free play is fundamentally important for children's development. And parents also benefit from it, as they can relax a little during this time and have some peace and quiet. It is therefore important for everyone involved that the child gets used to having space and time for free play.
As parents, we have to make sure that the child has enough free play time and organise it according to their age. In everyday life, you should therefore really make sure that the child does not have any fully planned afternoons. They need time to "do nothing" or to be bored from time to time.
The spatial framework should be right: The child should not be in an environment where it can have an accident or where the parents have to be constantly present. They should be able to play freely and utilise the space. It can also be an advantage not to offer the child an overabundance of toys. For many, it is helpful if there are not so many toys available. A wooden spoon, newspaper or other everyday objects that can be used to create something are also sufficient.
Media such as computers or mobile phones prevent children from playing freely.

Eye screening
Today we are talking about a very important device in our practice: the eye screening device! We use this to check the eyes of small children from ten to twelve months of age. It is a far-sighted examination - because serious visual defects can be recognised and treated in good time.
Ringworm
There are always phases in which rubella infections increase. In the vast majority of cases, this is not a major issue for the children affected - and yet the disease can be problematic.
Fever app
"You give me fever" - even the King sang about fever, so it's more than justified for us to dedicate ourselves to this topic for the second time. Because there is something cool and new.
