Okay, you're pregnant... and now? Did they make you believe it will all be easy, pink, shiny, and gorgeous? Bullshit. The truth is, it won't be easy. You will have to deal with the changes in your body, the morning sickness, the (unsolicited) advice from everyone around you, not to mention the strain of carrying a weight in your belly for nine months. This is going to be a difficult period, but it will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience. Do you feel truly prepared to face this trip? If you are going through this beautiful but demanding period of your life and you want to prepare yourself psychologically in the right way, then this guide is for you. This book is a valuable guide for expectant moms (and their partners!) who aren't looking for some counsel, but sincere words from those who have already gone through this journey. Anne Mary will offer you a journey through emotions not only of childbirth, but of the nine months leading up to the happy event. "It is necessary to live the emotions," she says, "to welcome them with joy and positivity, even when we see some clouds on the horizon". Anne Mary explains that the idea of writing this book stems from a desire to put her experience as a Doula and her passion for writing at the service of people who are in a delicate moment in their life. She wanted to talk about pregnancy in an alternative way and far from rhetoric. Here's everything you need to know to prepare for the healthiest possible pregnancy and the childbirth of your healthy baby. The author gives you practical tips on how to get your body into the best baby-making shape, which lifestyle habits are better to quit, and what are your physical and emotional transformations in these nine months.

Selbstliebe ist die Superpower, die Frauen befähigt, mit Siebenmeilenschritten in ein stolzes und selbstbestimmtes Frausein voller Lebensfreude zu gehen. Davon ist Martina Spierings, systemische Therapeutin in der Frauenberatung und Mutter von zwei Töchtern im Teenageralter, überzeugt. In einer Zeit, in der Menstruationsblut noch immer mit Scham behaftet ist, will ihr Buch Mütter und Töchter ermutigen, dem eigenen Körper und den mit dem Frauwerden verbundenen Veränderungen wertschätzend und selbstliebend zu begegnen. Machen wir uns also das Geschenk, uns auf uns selbst zu besinnen, damit wir unseren Töchtern auf dem Weg durch die stürmischen Wasser der Pubertät stärkend zur Seite stehen können. Leben wir eine stolze Weiblichkeit vor und wie sich diese mit inspirierenden Übungen und Ritualen lustvoll entdecken lässt.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Liebe Mutter einer Tochter,kennst du auch das Gefühl, NIE GUT GENUG zu sein?Es speist sich aus Bewertungen unserer Körper und anderen gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen an Frauen. Es trägt dazu bei, dass viele von uns gequält dauerlächeln, während sie unbezahlte (Care-Arbeit) oder schlecht bezahlte Tätigkeiten verrichten.Viele Mütter versäumen vor lauter Funktionieren und Fürsorge für andere, sich selbst eine gute Mutter zu sein. Damit verlieren sie immer mehr den Kontakt zu ihrem Inneren und ihrer Leidenschaft. "Neben sich" stehend erleben sie zunehmend Angst, Enge und Mangel - keine hilfreichen Energien, um die eigene Tochter positiv aufs Frausein einzustimmen.Denn die menschliche Seele sehnt sich nach LIEBE, FÜLLE und WEITE.Und ich bin überzeugt davon, dass dies der Ort ist, wo auch du hingehörst. Wo deine Tochter hingehört. Wir alle.Du brauchst nicht immer noch mehr tun, haben und sein. Stattdessen darfst du nach und nach all das loslassen, was nicht zu dir gehört - all die übernommene Abwertung, Angst und Scham; alles, was dein wundervolles tiefstes Sein gefangen hält und am Tanzen hindert.Wenn du und ich endlich begreifen, dass wir SCHON IMMER GUT GENUG waren, werden wir zu Frauen, die ihre eigene Stimme deutlich vernehmen und ihr folgen. Dann knipsen wir stolz unser inneres Licht an und freuen uns an unserem eigenen Strahlen ebenso wie an dem anderer. DAS ist ein attraktives Vorbild von Frausein. DAS wird Kreise ziehen. Und viele kleine Lichter machen die Welt heller und menschlicher und freier.Wenn dich die Sehnsucht nach Weite gepackt hat, lass uns gemeinsam ein Stück des Wegs gehen. Bist du bereit?Martina

It's worth it to keep going. Hunter wrote this for you, and you know who you are. He wants you to know he's rooting for you!

Dieser Ansatz wird hier als "Dialog" formuliert und gibt die Haltung des Erwachsenen zum Kind als partnerschaftlich an: Ohne den Dialog kann die Therapie nicht gelingen. Die vielen Therapiebeispiele sind auch für betroffenen Eltern eine Lektüre, die ihnen helfen kann, ihr Kind in seiner Betroffenheit besser zu verstehen.Spektrum HörenDer tiefe Respekt vor dem Weg jedes einzelnen Menschen, der Glaube an Möglichkeiten und die Phantasie, mit der Ulla Kiesling in den Dialog mit den Kindern tritt, machen dieses Buch zu einer zugleich persönlich berührenden und fachlich erweiternden Lektüre für alle, die mit der Entwicklung von Menschen zu tun haben, ebenso wie die Eltern, deren Kind irgendwie besonders ist.M.

Brauchen Kinder Religion? Warum es so wichtig ist, mit Kindern über Gott zu sprechenKinder dürfen in ihren Fragen nach Gott und Glauben, nach Leben und Leiden, nach Sinn und Hoffnung nicht allein gelassen werden. Sie haben das Recht auf den Glauben als Quelle für Lebenskraft und Stärke ¿ auch wenn Eltern mit ihren eigenen Unsicherheiten und Zweifeln zu kämpfen haben. Diese Auffassung vertritt Friedrich Schweitzer in seinem Buch, das nun in einer erweiterten Neuausgabe erscheint. Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Kontroversen erschließt der Autor sachkundig, warum Religion Wesentliches zur Selbstwerdung des Kindes beitragen kann. Dabei nimmt er die Probleme von Eltern und Erziehenden auf und zeigt, welche Chancen für die eigene religiöse Entwicklung darin stecken. Mit praktischen Hilfen für eine authentische und bereichernde Praxis der religiösen Erziehung in Familie, Hort und Kindergarten.Kann man Kindern religiöse Inhalte vermitteln, ohne sie zu bevormunden?Wie kann man Gott zum Thema machen, ohne eigene Fragen verbergen zu müssen?Wie können Kindergärten angesichts der religiösen Vielfalt noch religiös erziehen?Führt religiöse Erziehung zu Vorurteilen gegen andere Religionen?Erweiterte Neuausgabe des erfolgreichen Klassikers
