Podcast
Playstation or wooden puzzle?
Christmas is just around the corner, and parents and grandparents are faced with the eternal dilemma: Do they give a child what it wants, even if this is made of plastic? Or do they look for something educationally valuable and sustainable, even if it doesn’t trigger the same whoops of joy?
Preaching morality doesn’t really go with Christmas, and presents should bring joy. Demands for sustainability are therefore often misplaced. But can you please someone while at the same time conveying values?
In this episode, parents talk to social worker Susanna Fischer from the Stadelhofen family practice about sustainable gifting.
The podcast is only available in German.
