1989


Steven is 4 years old now and we have moved to the town of Kassel in the meantime. Here Steven visits the "Kindertagesstätte"(childrens day place). He is taken care of in a special group by eight children with various types of handicaps and gets ergotherapie and physiotherapy. This is a great relief for me since Steven has got a brother (Mike) who keeps me busy also. No longer can I deal so intensively with him as before Mikes birth. He also needs new suggestions in play and contact to other children now. In the beginning I had doubts he would be alienated from me, wouldn't know where he belongs. It was difficult for me to pass him on. I always had him around myself. We had made so much things together. But he likes it in the day place. He also is happy, if he gets home again. He then always looks around exactly.
