Summary/Abstract: The world of an adult and the world of a child are certain separate realities, which are governed by their own laws. Among them we find goals, needs and values that are different from each other, depending on the perspective. The task of a parent becomes a conscious exploration of the “child’s planet”, an attempt to cross the barrier of age and experience. Th is becomes possible through self-reflection on one’s own childhood and through the search for one’s own element of childhood. It becomes helpful to read The Little Prince, which is a kind of bridge between the world of a parent and the planet of a child.
