Clear Words in a Tender Voice in German

Clear Words in a Tender Voice practises precise German for moments when death comes up, while keeping ordinary sleep clearly separate. For a baby or toddler, use one or two short statements, a gentle voice and familiar care; do not expect an understanding of death or a spoken response. The C2 work lies in the parent's choices of register, euphemism and explicit meaning—not in making the child's language more complex.
