They call it rebellion. How to support children in the developmental age group of 2–4.

A book that helps parents understand one of the most intense stages in a child's life—from the first "no" until around age four. Psychologists Malin Bergström and Clara Linnros show how an empathetic approach supports a child's development, helping them discover themselves and their needs. This isn't rebellion, but flourishing—a key moment on the path to independence and inner strength.

The cup is the wrong color, the cutlet touched the potato, the apple is cut into the wrong shape, your sister pressed the elevator button first… and at the end, you're in for a brawl at the grocery store. If you know exactly what that means, this book is for you.

The so-called age of rebellion is a demanding yet crucial stage in the lives of children and their parents. It lasts from the moment a toddler begins to say "no" until around age four. This is a time of intense development – ​​a child not only learns to walk and talk but also discovers their own will and boundaries.

In their book , "The Word of Rebellion," child psychologists Malin Bergström and Clara Linnros show how an empathetic approach can help us better understand this extraordinary period. Instead of imposing rigid rules and beliefs from the past, they propose supporting the child in accordance with his or her own development, personality, and emotions.

They call it rebellion, but in reality, it's a blossoming moment—a moment when a child learns about themselves, their own will, and develops social skills. It's a natural need, one that helps them gain strength and prepare for independence. While it can be difficult, it's essential—for both children and parents.
