The Grown-Up Takes Care in German

In “The Grown-Up Takes Care,” you practise explaining that feeding, bathing and stroller safety are the adult’s responsibility—not the baby’s. The B2 construction haben + zu-infinitive names the person responsible for a required action and is especially common in formal rules and instructions. Because it can sound stern in everyday conversation, you will also practise warmer alternatives with müssen for reassuring your baby or toddler.
