Not Naughty, Just Overwhelmed in German

In “Not Naughty, Just Overwhelmed,” you practise replacing adult judgments with kind descriptions of a baby's needs and discoveries. The C2 focus is metalinguistic negation: rejecting a label or its implications rather than denying the behaviour itself. Use the full corrections with adults, and let your baby hear the simpler reassurance that follows.
