5 Common Mistakes About Baby Sleep – and How to Do Better

Every family knows them – these nights that just won’t end. Your baby just can’t seem to fall asleep, you’ve tried everything, and yet you’re at the end of your rope. You may have even been told well-meaning advice like: “Let it cry” or “You’re spoiling it too much.” As a baby sleep coach and mother, I know: These tips often don’t help – quite the opposite. They create uncertainty. In this post, I want to clear up 5 common misconceptions about baby sleep and show you what really helps – lovingly, gently, and attachment-oriented.

Misconception 1: “Sleep has to be trained”

No. Sleep is not a skill we can “teach.” Babies sleep well when they feel safe, held, and understood. Gentle companionship builds trust – and that’s what leads to better sleep.

Misconception 2: “The baby has to learn to fall asleep alone”

Falling asleep alone is a developmental stage – not a requirement. No baby “learns” to sleep better through separation. They learn that closeness is safe. Sleeping with companionship is perfectly fine and not a step backward.

Misconception 3: “If the baby doesn’t sleep through the night, something is wrong”

Did you know that waking up at night is biologically normal? The body protects itself from deep sleep. It’s more important how the baby gets back to sleep – not how often it wakes up.

Misconception 4: “It’s because of nursing/not nursing/cuddling/etc.”

Many parents look for the one reason. But sleep is complex: Maturity, attachment, daily rhythm, sensory processing – all play a role. There isn’t one solution, but there’s your path.

Misconception 5: “If I ask for help, I’ve failed”

Quite the opposite. Parents who seek support are acting courageously, lovingly, and responsibly. Because you want to do it right – for you, your baby, and your family’s peace.

You don’t have to do this alone

If you feel like you can’t go on, then bring loving companionship to your side. I support you as a baby sleep coach online or with a home visit in your region – mindfully, individually, and without rigid methods.

Safe, comfortable, and right in the middle of the action: The benefits of an infant car seat attached to a high chair
From their very first days of life, babies are curious about their surroundings and love being part of family life. Parents want to give their little ones a sense of closeness and security during this phase, without losing sight of their daily routines. A baby seat that attaches to a high chair offers the perfect solution. It combines comfort and safety with practical benefits for the family.

Closeness and Security
With an infant car seat that can be placed at eye level with the family, the baby feels like it’s right in the middle of the action. They experience voices, movements, and the dynamics of everyday family life up close. This closeness strengthens the bond between parents and child and gives the baby a sense of security and belonging.

Ergonomics and Comfort
A high-quality infant car seat provides an ergonomically designed reclining position that supports the baby’s back while ensuring comfort. Models like those from tiSsi® are often adjustable, so the baby can lie comfortably in various positions—from sleeping to being alert and observant. This flexibility contributes to healthy physical development.

Sustainability Through a Long Service Life
A particular advantage of a baby seat attached to a high chair is the extended service life of the chair. With tiSsi®, the high chair can be used from birth thanks to the baby seat. Compared to conventional high chairs, which can only be used starting at a later age, this feature helps ensure the chair can be used for many years—an important contribution to sustainability. In addition, tiSsi® products are made from durable materials to minimize their environmental footprint.

Practical Support for Everyday Life
While the baby lies safely in the infant carrier, parents have more freedom to tackle everyday tasks such as cooking, eating, or working. The infant car seat allows parents to keep their baby close at all times without compromising on safety or comfort. This solution is a huge help, especially during the first few months when the need for closeness is greatest.

Promoting Social Development
From an early age, the baby is drawn into social interactions through its proximity to the family table. It learns through observation, picks up on voices and facial expressions, and is thus gently introduced to the dynamics of family life. This naturally supports language and cognitive development.

Conclusion: An Investment in Bonding and Sustainability
The infant car seat for the high chair is more than just a practical accessory. It significantly extends the high chair’s useful life, supports the child’s development, and makes everyday life easier for the family. Models like those from tiSsi® stand not only for safety and comfort, but also for sustainability—a philosophy that’s a perfect fit for families who want to live consciously and responsibly.

„Help me do it myself!“ – Why Independence is the Key to Development

The Value of Independence

Independence means for children taking responsibility, making their own decisions, and learning from their experiences. These processes not only boost self-confidence but also enhance the ability to overcome challenges. By finding their own ways, children strengthen their problem-solving skills, perseverance, and trust in their abilities.

Montessori Education: Learning through Doing

In Montessori education, the child is at the center. The role of adults is to create a prepared environment that allows children to engage in independent activity. Here, the adult intervenes only when the child truly needs help—and even then, only as much as necessary to enable the child to handle the rest independently.

An example from daily life: Instead of tying a child’s shoes, guide them with a practice board or simple instructions to do it themselves. Stick toys, learning towers, and other aids, such as those offered by tiSsi®, are expressions of this philosophy. They promote independence by allowing children to act safely and independently—whether reaching the kitchen counter or climbing.

Creating Space for Mistakes

Children learn primarily through experience. Mistakes are not setbacks but important learning opportunities. For instance, if a child spills water while pouring, they learn to coordinate movements and work more carefully. Adults should be patient and understanding in such moments, rather than stepping in or criticizing.

Independence as a Foundation for Life

Children who learn early to act independently benefit for a lifetime. They develop resilience, self-responsibility, and the ability to handle complex situations. These competencies are essential not only for childhood but also for later personal and professional development.

tiSsi® – A Philosophy of Independence

tiSsi® follows this approach by designing products that promote children’s independence. Learning towers bring children to eye level, stick toys offer space for their own adventures, and high chairs enable the smallest ones to actively participate in family life. All this supports the guiding principle: “Help me do it myself.”

Conclusion: Trust, Unfold Potentials

By giving children space to do things themselves, we not only foster their development but also show them: “I trust you with something.” This attitude strengthens the bond between parents and children and lays the foundation for a fulfilling, self-directed life. As Maria Montessori put it: “Any unnecessary helping is an obstacle to development.”

Meals are a special moment of gathering, especially when the whole family is around the table. Children are an important part of this social experience from the start. The tiSsi® high chair ensures that even the smallest ones can be comfortable and safe, whether baby or toddler. With its thoughtful features and practical extensions, like the baby seat and table insert, the high chair becomes an indispensable companion for family time.

All around one table – from the start

The tiSsi® high chair is designed to seamlessly fit into any table setting. Its ergonomic S-shape allows it to be pushed directly onto the dining table, ensuring children are part of the meal from a young age. This strengthens family bonds and fosters social skills. Whether laughing, talking, or sharing stories about the day – with the tiSsi® high chair, children are right in the middle of things, not just along for the ride.

Safety and comfort – at every age

The high chair grows with the child and can be flexibly adjusted. Height and depth-adjustable seat and foot plates ensure children always have an ergonomically optimal sitting position. The stable base and thoughtful tip-safety feature give parents the peace of mind to focus on quality time together, while the little ones sit safely.

The perfect start: The tiSsi® baby seat

For the tiniest ones, the tiSsi® baby seat offers an ideal solution. It allows babies to be at eye level with the family from day one. With its double-angle adjustment, parents can customize the position of the baby seat, ensuring the baby is comfortable or in a slightly upright position. This is especially practical during feeding or when the baby wants to observe the table activities out of curiosity. The 5-point harness provides maximum safety, while the ergonomic design offers optimal support for the baby’s back.

Practical addition: The table insert

The optional table insert transforms the tiSsi® high chair into its own little dining or play area. Especially during large family meals when the table is full, the insert provides an additional surface for children to enjoy their meals. It’s also perfect for creative activities like painting or playing, and it’s easily cleanable after meals.

Sustainability and quality for the future

Like all tiSsi® products, the high chair is made from high-quality beechwood. This sustainable material not only ensures stability but also a long lifespan. The free of harmful substances processing guarantees that the high chair meets the highest safety standards – ideal for the youngest family members.

Conclusion: The tiSsi® high chair – a piece of furniture for all generations

The tiSsi® high chair is more than just a seat; it’s a place where children grow, learn, and become part of family life. With its flexible extensions, like the baby seat and table insert, the high chair accompanies families from the first days of life through adolescence. Especially during family gatherings, when all generations come together, the tiSsi® high chair ensures that even the youngest family members are comfortable and safe.

Whether baby, toddler, or schoolchild – the tiSsi® high chair stands for flexibility, comfort, and harmonious coexistence around the table. A piece of furniture that truly brings families together.

Playpens are not only practical but also versatile pieces of furniture that make daily life with small children easier. Often, the impression is given that playpens restrict children, while they actually provide a safe and protected environment where babies and toddlers can discover the world – at their own pace.

Why playpens are a valuable support in daily life

A playpen is an ideal place to give children freedom of movement without parents constantly having to watch every little thing. In a hectic daily routine, the playpen offers a protected retreat where the little ones can engage in activities while the parents briefly leave the room or attend to other tasks. Whether while cooking, on the phone, or simply for a moment of relaxation – the playpen gives parents the certainty that the child is safe.

Safe playing and discovering

In a playpen, babies can make their first movement attempts, work on crawling and sitting exercises, and attempt their first climbing, without risking anything falling or slipping. An adjustable floor allows for optimal adaptation of the lying surface to the child’s development and prevents accidents from climbing or falling out. Playpens are also ideal for twins or playdates, as they provide both children with space to play together and safely.

Resting place and sleeping facility

Many parents also use the playpen as a temporary sleeping facility when the baby, for example, needs to rest in the living room or during visits. With a soft insert and possibly a canopy, the playpen becomes a cozy retreat. Particularly practical are models that are easy to assemble and disassemble and are mobile by rolling, such as the playpens by tiSsi®. This allows them to be quickly moved to the right location or stored space-saving.

Flexible and durable – the tiSsi® playpens

The tiSsi® playpens “LIES” and “MORITZ” have been developed specifically for the versatile needs of families. Thanks to high-quality materials like solid beech wood, they are stable, durable, and designed for long-term use. The adjustable lying surface as well as the possibility to fold up and transport the playpen offer flexible deployment options. At the same time, tiSsi® places a strong emphasis on sustainability and freedom from harmful substances – an aspect that is particularly crucial when it comes to products for children.

A playpen accompanies a child for many months and grows with the family’s needs. It provides security and freedom of movement for the little ones and gives parents valuable moments of relief. Thus, our playpens combine protection, comfort, and freedom of movement for a harmonious family life.

When the little ones stay over at Grandma and Grandpa’s, they want to ensure a cozy and safe sleeping arrangement. The “JORI” bed from tiSsi® is designed to meet these needs, offering a comfortable, safe, and flexible solution for family visits. But what makes “JORI” so perfect for use at Grandma and Grandpa’s? Here are the main reasons.

Quick assembly and easy handling

The “JORI” bed stands out for its particularly uncomplicated handling—ideal for grandparents who don’t want to regularly set up and take down children’s beds. It can be assembled with just a few simple steps, without the need for tools. This means a cozy sleeping spot is ready in no time, and it can be quickly disassembled and stored space-efficiently when not needed.

Compact size and mobility

“JORI” is not only flexible to set up and take down but also designed to be particularly compact. With a lying surface of 60 x 120 cm, it provides enough space for a restful sleep without taking up much room in the room. Thanks to the integrated parquet casters with locking brake, the bed can be safely pushed to any location at any time, whether it’s into the living room, bedroom, or even the winter garden.

Stable and secure for peaceful sleep

A major concern for many grandparents is the safety of their grandchildren. The “JORI” bed is made of solid beechwood, making it particularly stable and durable. It features three removable slats, allowing even older children to get in and out independently. Due to its high-quality construction and tested tip-over safety, grandparents can be reassured that their little guest will spend a safe night.

Sustainability and quality that convinces

The “JORI” bed is manufactured from sustainably certified wood and comes with a schadstofffreie (non-toxic) cotton cover, which protects the mattress and can be removed and washed as needed. The tiSsi® brand places great importance on environmentally friendly materials and long-lasting quality, ensuring the bed can be used for many years—a real plus for environmentally conscious grandparents who value high-quality products.

Practical for spontaneous overnight stays and long visits

Since the “JORI” bed can be quickly assembled and stored, it’s perfect for spontaneous overnight stays by grandchildren. Whether the visit is just for one night or several days, the bed adapts flexibly to the situation. When the grandchildren return home, the bed can be stored space-efficiently—and waits for the next visit.

Conclusion: “JORI” – A loyal companion for grandparents and grandchildren

With the tiSsi® “JORI” bed, Grandma and Grandpa are well-prepared for any visit. It not only offers comfort and security for the little ones but also easy handling and high flexibility for the grandparents. Thanks to its compact size, quick assembly, and mobile casters, “JORI” is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to provide their grandchildren with a cozy sleeping arrangement without compromising on comfort and functionality.

Learning towers are gaining immense popularity, especially in the kitchen, where they enable shared cooking and baking with the youngest. But what makes a learning tower such a practical helper in everyday life—especially in this room? Here, we take a look at why a learning tower like FELIX by tiSsi® brings real benefits for parents and children in the kitchen.

Being at Eye Level from the Start

Children love to be actively involved, especially when parents are handling kitchen tasks. While the work surface is usually out of reach, a learning tower allows kids to stand safely and steadily at eye level with their parents, participating in the action. They can observe what happens during cooking and baking, and often even help out—whether it’s stirring, measuring ingredients, or cutting out cookies.

Fostering Independence and Motor Skills

In a learning tower, children can not only watch but also try out many movements securely on their own. This promotes both their independence and motor skills. The opportunity to take on simple kitchen tasks boosts self-confidence and sparks enthusiasm for healthy food and shared meals. With the right kitchen tools, the little ones can soon be slicing fruit or kneading dough.

Safety First

The kitchen harbors many dangers—hot pots, sharp knives, and slippery floors. The learning tower creates a safe platform that is stable and spill-proof. Models like the tiSsi® Learning Tower “FELIX” even offer an adjustable standing surface that can be perfectly adapted to the child’s size. The solid beechwood and thoughtful design of tiSsi® products ensure maximum stability, even when the little explorers get excited and move around.

A Space for Shared Time and Learning Moments

The kitchen is often the heart of the family, and a learning tower provides the opportunity to share these precious moments. Children learn by observing and can be integrated into daily routines. At the same time, a closeness is fostered that is often lacking in the busy everyday life—because parents and children are at eye level and share the moment together. A learning tower is not just a helpful tool but also a piece of furniture that strengthens family ties and bonding.

Practical Flexibility: The tiSsi® Learning Tower FELIX as a Daily Helper

The FELIX learning tower by tiSsi® is not only suitable for the kitchen but is also flexible and can be used, for example, in the bathroom for handwashing or brushing teeth. Thanks to its adjustable height and solid beechwood, it grows with the child and remains a safe companion for a long time. At tiSsi®, sustainability is also a key focus—the materials and production are designed to be free of harmful substances and environmentally friendly, ensuring parents feel safe.

With a learning tower in the kitchen, everyday life becomes not only more practical for parents and children but also a time filled with valuable, shared experiences. In this way, the little ones learn about food and kitchen appliances in a playful way and feel like an equal part of family life.

The Montessori approach, developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori, places the child at the center of the learning process. Maria Montessori was born in 1870 and was one of the first women in Italy to successfully complete medical school. Through her work with children, she developed a method that nurtures and supports each child’s natural curiosity and innate drive to learn.

The origins of the Montessori approach lie in her work with children from disadvantaged families. In 1907, she founded the first “Casa dei Bambini” (Children’s House) in Rome, where she implemented her methods. Montessori observed that children make remarkable learning strides when provided with a prepared environment and the freedom to take initiative. This led to the concept of the “prepared environment,” where furniture, materials, and routines are tailored to the child’s developmental needs. A central tenet is encouraging independence: children should develop self-confidence and independence through self-directed action.

Montessori education is globally prevalent and emphasizes the individual development of each child. The principle “Help me to do it myself” illustrates that children are seen as independent personalities in the Montessori approach, allowed to learn and discover at their own pace. They are not only expected to acquire knowledge but also to develop social and practical skills. The environment and learning materials are designed to encourage exploration and experimentation while ensuring a safe and sustainable development.

Today, Montessori’s approach is implemented in educational institutions worldwide, from preschools to elementary schools. It can also be adapted for home environments, for example, through furniture adjusted to a child’s size and needs. The tiSsi Learning Tower and the Step Stool are typical examples of furniture following this approach: They enable children to participate in daily activities at eye level and foster their independence.

In the spirit of Montessori education, the tiSsi® brand also prioritizes safety and sustainability, using high-quality, non-toxic materials. These aspects align with child development and promote a responsible, secure environment where children can thrive.

Sicherer Schlaf für Babys: Warum ein Schlafsack die beste Wahl ist

Liebe Eltern,

die Sicherheit unserer Kleinsten hat oberste Priorität, insbesondere wenn es um den Schlaf geht. Eine häufige Frage neuer Eltern lautet: Decke oder Schlafsack? Die Antwort ist klar: Ein Schlafsack ist die sicherere Option.

Warum ein Schlafsack?

Ein Baby kann sich leicht aus einer Decke winden, was es kalt werden und aufwachen lässt. Dies führt oft dazu, dass auch die Eltern geweckt werden. Ein Schlafsack bietet eine hervorragende Lösung für dieses Problem. Er verhindert, dass sich Ihr Kleines frei winden kann, egal wie viel es sich nachts bewegt. So bleibt es immer warm und geborgen.

Sicherheit im Schlaf

Noch beunruhigender ist die Möglichkeit, dass sich Ihr Baby die Decke über den Kopf zieht, was das Erstickungsrisiko erhöht. Hier bietet der Schlafsack entscheidende Vorteile: Er bleibt die ganze Nacht an Ort und Stelle und schützt Ihr Baby zuverlässig vor dem Risiko, dass die Decke das Gesicht bedeckt.

Schlafposition und Schlafsack

Es wird empfohlen, dass Babys in den ersten Lebensmonaten immer auf dem Rücken schlafen. Diese Schlafposition gilt als die sicherste für Babys, da sie das Risiko für plötzlichen Kindstod (SIDS) verringert. Das Wenden auf den Bauch, eine risikoreiche Position, wird durch das Tragen eines Schlafsacks erschwert.

Die richtige Passform

Ein Schlafsack ist der perfekte Begleiter für ein Baby ab der Geburt. Sehr wichtig ist, dass er nicht zu groß ist, damit er seine schützende Funktion optimal erfüllen kann. Der ideale Schlafsack sollte etwa 10 bis 15 cm länger sein als der Körper des Babys, ohne den Kopf abzuziehen.

Achten Sie besonders darauf, dass der Halsausschnitt die richtige Größe hat, damit Ihr Baby sicher im Schlafsack liegt. Ein zu großer Halsausschnitt birgt die Gefahr, dass das Kind hineinrutscht, während ein zu enger Halsausschnitt eine Strangulationsgefahr darstellen kann. Eine hilfreiche Faustregel besagt, dass der Halsausschnitt so bemessen sein sollte, dass ein Finger bequem zwischen Hals und Halsausschnitt passt.

Material und Sicherheit

Achten Sie beim Kauf darauf, dass der Schlafsack aus atmungsaktivem Material besteht und keine schädlichen Chemikalien enthält. Beim Kauf von Schlafsäcken ist es wichtig, auf das ÖKO-TEST-Siegel zu achten. Produkte, die nach Oeko-Tex Standard 100 zertifiziert sind, sind frei von Schadstoffen.

Schlafsack mit Füßen?

Fühlt sich Ihr Kind in einem regulären Schlafsack unwohl und will darin nicht schlafen? Dann sind Schlafsäcke mit Füßen von Schlummersack die ideale Alternative: Im Schlafsack mit Beinen kann Ihr Kind nicht nur sicher und gemütlich schlafen, sondern im Babybett stehen, krabbeln, laufen und spielen. Modelle mit umklappbaren Bündchen und Anti-Rutsch-Noppen sorgen für zusätzliche Sicherheit beim Herumtollen. Schlafsäcke mit Füßen sind allerdings erst für Babys ab etwa sechs Monaten erhältlich.

Der Nackentest: Eine zuverlässige Methode

Es kommt häufig vor, dass Babys entweder zu warm oder zu leicht angezogen werden. Der Nackentest ist eine zuverlässige Methode, um die richtige Temperatur zu überprüfen. Platzieren Sie einfach Ihre Finger sanft im Nacken Ihres Babys. Die ideale Temperatur sollte angenehm warm sein. Wenn der Nacken kühl ist, könnte Ihr Baby zu kalt angezogen sein. Schwitzt Ihr Baby im Nacken, deutet dies darauf hin, dass es zu warm ist.

Der richtige TOG-Wert eines Schlafsacks

Der richtige TOG-Wert (ein nützliches Maß für die Isolationsfähigkeit textiler Produkte) eines Schlafsacks ist entscheidend: Für den Sommer eignen sich 0,5 TOG oder 1,0 TOG, während im Winter 2,5 TOG oder 3,5 TOG ideal sind. Die empfohlene Raumtemperatur für einen gesunden Schlaf eines Babys liegt zwischen 16 und 20 °C.

Für warme Sommernächte ist ein 0,5 TOG-Schlafsack ideal. Er bietet die perfekte Balance zwischen Atmungsaktivität und Isolierung und verhindert Überhitzung. Der leichte und luftdurchlässige Musselin-Stoff hilft dabei, das Baby kühl und komfortabel durch die Nacht zu bringen und absorbiert auch Feuchtigkeit, falls das Baby schwitzt.

Für gemäßigte Temperaturen oder den Frühling und Herbst ist ein 1,0 TOG-Schlafsack perfekt geeignet. Dieser mitteldicke Schlafsack bietet eine gute Isolierung bei Temperaturen zwischen 18 und 24 °C.

Ein 2,5 TOG-Schlafsack ist ideal für den ganzjährigen Gebrauch bei Raumtemperaturen von 15 bis 21 °C. Dieser dickere Schlafsack hält Ihr Baby auch in kälteren Nächten angenehm warm, ohne dass es überhitzt. Falls es zu warm wird, verfügt der Ganzjahresschlafsack über abnehmbare Ärmel und bietet somit eine flexible Anpassung an wechselnde Raumtemperaturen, wodurch der Schlafsack sowohl für kühlere als auch wärmere Nächte geeignet ist.

Für die richtig kalten Wintermonate und Raumtemperaturen unter 18 °C empfiehlt sich ein 3,5 TOG-Schlafsack. Dieser besonders warme und dicke Schlafsack sorgt dafür, dass Ihr Baby selbst bei frostigen Temperaturen kuschelig warm bleibt.

Wünsche für einen guten Schlaf

Wir wünschen Ihnen und Ihren kleinen Schätzen einen gesunden und erholsamen Schlaf, damit Sie alle ruhigen Nächte genießen können.

Rear-Facing Car Seats: Safety First

The safety of children in the car is of utmost importance, and choosing the right car seat can make a significant difference. One of the safest options for transporting children is rear-facing car seats. But why are these seats so advantageous? Here are some reasons why you should consider purchasing a rear-facing car seat:

1. Better Protection in Accidents

Rear-facing car seats, also known as reboarders, offer better protection for a child’s delicate head and neck. In a frontal collision, the most common and often severe accident type, the impact force is evenly distributed across the entire back of the child. This reduces the risk of severe injuries compared to forward-facing seats, where a child’s head can be thrown forward.

2. Recommendations from Safety Experts

Many safety experts and organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Federal Ministry of Transport, advise keeping children rear-facing for as long as possible. Studies have shown that children are up to five times safer when riding rear-facing.

3. Stronger Bone Development

The transition to a forward-facing seat should only be made when a child’s bones have developed sufficiently to withstand the forces of an accident. Rear-facing seats support natural development and provide additional protection until a child’s skeletal system is stronger.

Conclusion

Reboarders are one of the safest options for transporting children in a car. They offer superior protection in accidents, support healthy development, and are a long-lasting investment in your child’s safety. Parents should therefore consider keeping their children rear-facing for as long as possible to minimize accident risk and maximize safety.

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
