German term

Ausdrucksformen des Kinderlebens

German to English Science Psychology
I'm looking for a succinct translation of this book title. I asked a question regarding "Kinderleben" in the German-German section as I was not quite sure whether this book deals with "Kinder-Leben" or "Kind-Erleben" (more info here: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1306606).

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Yes
Christian (asker) Apr 11, 2006:
I'm afraid the translation mustn't be too free, but "Forms of expressions of children's lives" sounds a bit awkward, doesn't it? Hm...
Christian (asker) Apr 11, 2006:
I'm not quite sure what this book is about. I'm tranlating a document which bears this title, and I know that it refers to this book, but I don't know anything about the book itself.
Ingeborg Gowans (X) Apr 11, 2006:
is thi a collection of stories,photos , and if so, more illustrations than text? i would go with: childhood expressions or: childhood memories or: facets of childhood, depending on the format of the book

Forms of Expression in the Lives of Children

My suggestion, supported by:

If libraries are to play a part in the lives of children and young people, we must give them greater access to the forms of expression they already use to shape their identity.

Although children have everyday contact with other media and many other forms of expression and communication, visual media alone are seen as speaking a "universal language," accessible regardless of age. ... Because they are seen as a special "class" or "group" of both citizens and viewers, great concern for the role of television in the lives of children has accompanied the development of the medium.

Failure to understand the contexts and systemic decisions that influence the lives of children, places too much weight on the importance of early childhood services in themselves, and in particular, on the practicioners who have direct contact with children.
Develop creative abilities and the ability to convey thoughts and experiences through different forms of expression, such as play, pictures, song and music, dance and drama;

facets of childhood

this might cover the experiences they are going through, and if pictures available an insight into their lives as depicted. It is really just a shot in the dark with the little info given. Good luck!
