The book "Soul Blows" by Dr. Anke Elisabeth Ballmann is a powerful manifesto for non-violent education. The author, an experienced educator and psychologist, sheds light on the psychological violence that many children are exposed to in their daily lives. She describes how aggressive and disrespectful behavior from adults, whom children should be able to trust, leads to painful, invisible injuries. Through numerous examples from her professional practice, Ballmann highlights the issues in daycare centers and explains the long-term consequences for the affected children. Her goal is to break the silence surrounding this issue and to set new impulses for education policy and the educational system. With a clear call for a change in mindset, she urges a fundamental reconsideration of education and the promotion of non-violent alternatives.
