Ellen Key Bücher

Vorbemerkung von Gitta Peyn, Vorwort von Hella Boysen (Pädagogin und Grundschulkonrektorin a. D.) Die schwedische Sozialreformerin und Pädagogin Ellen Key (1849-1926) hatte ein zentrales Anliegen: das Glück der Kinder. Mit einem feinen Gespür für die Bedürfnisse der Zeit verfasste sie 1901 das bedeutende Werk „Das Jahrhundert des Kindes“, das hier in einer modernen, lesefreundlichen Ausgabe präsentiert wird. Die grundlegenden Veränderungen in der Erziehung und im Umgang mit Kindern, die Key fordert, sind auch heute von großer Relevanz. Ihre Warnungen vor den negativen Folgen einer kindwidrigen Erziehung sind in der modernen Gesellschaft dringlicher denn je, da diese Probleme zunehmend sichtbar werden. Das Werk ist ein Augenöffner und Ratgeber für Eltern, Erzieher und alle, die das eigene Glück oder Unglück besser verstehen möchten – schließlich waren wir alle einmal Kinder. Ellen Key lenkt unseren Blick auf das Wesentliche: die Seele des Kindes und dessen Bedürfnisse. Sie zeigt uns Wege auf, um aus scheinbar unlösbaren Problemen herauszukommen. Die Kinder sind unsere Zukunft, und ihr Glück im Hier und Jetzt wird die Welt von morgen gesund machen!
