With Dr. Anna Pauschenwein, General Practitioner, Acupuncturist and Mother. Hello, my name is Dr. Anna Pauschenwein, I am a General Practitioner, Emergency Physician, Occupational Physician, and a mother. My special areas of expertise include acupuncture for both adults and children (there are also needle-free treatment options available). I take the time to listen to my patients and try to promote both their physical and mental health holistically. Medicine is my great passion, and I treat each patient with the same care I would give to a family member. We parents all know this: as soon as you start cooking in the kitchen, the little ones want to be involved. It’s a very beautiful aspect and a great way to teach our children everyday things and foster their creativity. However, without the right tools, it’s not easy and can be dangerous. When the Learning Tower moved in, these problems became a thing of the past. The tiSsi Learning Tower Felix is more than just a tool for everyday life with toddlers. It’s an innovative product that promotes the development and health of children in numerous ways. In this blog post, I’d like to highlight the main advantages of the Learning Tower, but I also want to touch on a very important topic regarding its use. Main Advantages of the Learning Tower 1. Promoting Motor Development The Felix Learning Tower gives children the opportunity to improve their motor skills in a playful way. Standing in the tower enhances coordination, strength, and balance. 2. Encouraging Independence Using a Learning Tower allows children to participate in activities that would otherwise be out of their reach. They can help with cooking, baking, or brushing their teeth, learning to take responsibility for their actions. 3. Boosting Self-Confidence The learning experiences children have in the Felix Learning Tower strengthen their self-confidence. They feel competent and valued when they successfully complete tasks. 4. Promoting Social Development The tiSsi Learning Tower gives children the chance to interact with adults on equal footing. This fosters social development and communication skills. Now, however, there is a very important aspect that the manufacturer constantly emphasizes: Please do not use a learning tower with your children until they can stand safely and independently! It must always be possible for children to leave the tower on their own. Unfortunately, it is often observed that parents place their children in a learning tower as soon as their little legs can support them slightly. The children hold on to the tower, but cannot yet stand freely without support. This leads to accidents like falling out of the tower. A widespread fact that could be easily avoided. In addition to the risk of accidents, this early standing is of course also absolutely “poison” for the small ones’ locomotor system. For this reason, tiSsi does not offer any fall protection. Such a device gives children a false sense of security and can lead to body damage. That is why my urgent appeal to you: Please only use the tower when your child is ready. Every child has its own pace, and we should and must respect that. Conclusion: We would never want to miss our tiSsi learning tower again and enjoy it every day. https://www.instagram.com/dr.med_pauschenwein
