Let Me Say That More Gently in German
In “Let Me Say That More Gently,” you practise correcting your own assumptions aloud as you respond to your baby or toddler. The C2 skill is epanorthosis: using genauer gesagt, nein or besser gesagt to replace an unfair, vague or minimising description with something more accurate. Keep your delivery warm and brief; the sophisticated language work belongs to the adult, not the child.
