Our daughter Elena gave the woodpeckers their second grandchild in September last year.
As a loving mother and social pedagogue, she deals with her little daughter in a fascinatingly attentive and exciting way that we ourselves had hardly learned yet.
From her comes the following suggestion on how the time of nappy changing can be used in a joyful and healthy way by the adult.
Perhaps it will also give you and your child a deeply satisfying experience of joy.
I wish you much success in your work
