child-rearing
The process and practice of accompanying and supporting children on their way to adulthood and teaching them values, knowledge, and social skills.
Die Kindererziehung ist eine der verantwortungsvollsten Aufgaben für Eltern.
Child-rearing is one of the most responsible tasks for parents.
The word is made up of 'die Kinder' (children; plural of 'das Kind') and 'die Erziehung' (upbringing/education). So it literally describes the upbringing of children.
In dem Buch geht es um moderne Methoden der Kindererziehung.
The book is about modern methods of child-rearing.
The word belongs to the word family around the verb 'erziehen' (to raise/educate). The base word is 'die Erziehung' (upbringing/education). A person who raises or educates children professionally is 'der Erzieher' or 'die Erzieherin' (educator/childcare worker).
Gute Eltern erziehen ihre Kinder mit Liebe und Konsequenz.
Good parents raise their children with love and consistency.
'Kindererziehung' (child-rearing) is often combined with adjectives that describe a particular style. Typical examples are 'autoritäre' (authoritarian), 'liberale' (liberal), 'moderne' (modern), or 'traditionelle' (traditional) child-rearing.
Eine autoritäre Kindererziehung setzt auf strenge Regeln und Gehorsam.
Authoritarian child-rearing relies on strict rules and obedience.
upbringing / education
'die Erziehung' and 'die Kindererziehung' are very close in meaning. Both mean that young people are guided and learn values, knowledge, and social behavior. 'Erziehung' is more general and can also talk about teenagers or about the result, for example good manners. 'Kindererziehung' is more specific: it is explicitly about children and how adults support them as they grow up. The words can be confused because 'Erziehung' often refers to children too. If the context is clear, 'Erziehung' is enough. If you are speaking specifically about parents, children, and everyday family life, 'Kindererziehung' sounds more precise.
Kindererziehung ist oft anstrengend, aber sie bringt auch viele schöne Momente.
Child-rearing is often exhausting, but it also brings many wonderful moments.
Viele Eltern fragen sich, welche Rolle Regeln in der Erziehung spielen.
Many parents wonder what role rules play in upbringing.
