"The Tiny Tornadoes: Mastering the Art of Parenting" is an insightful and comprehensive guidebook for parents navigating the complexities of raising children in today's fast-paced world. This book provides a blend of practical advice, psychological insights, and real-life examples to help parents understand and manage different types of children, from the quiet and introspective to the wildly energetic and spirited.

It does NOT take a village to raise a child...it just takes good parenting.Creating safe neighborhoods and safe communities is NOT the responsibility of the President of the United States. Neither is it the responsibility of the Police, Schools, or Politicians. Community safety is the responsibility of parents. In my Parents on a Mission (POM) program I consistently encourage parents that they are the number one asset in the community...they are the most important person in the community-not the police, pastor, priest, principal of the school, or politicians-parents are in the best position to determine the health and safety of the community since it is they who have the future citizens under their care to nurture, discipline, and provide guidance during the most impressionable years of a child's life. In POM I encourage parents to understand that they are not only raising "their kids", but they are also raising our citizens as our families all share "our neighborhoods", attend "our schools" and befriend "our kids". Therefore, the ultimate outcome of what goes on inside our homes daily, directly relates to the condition of the safety and health of the larger community. After all, where do the citizens of the community come from? They come from our home. Thus, the question is, what kind of citizen are we sending into the community, the neighborhood, schools, parks, and playgrounds every day? The fact is the community is depending upon parents to raise responsible and respectful citizens that will make a positive contribution to the community as future leaders in business, education, religion, government, and a variety of other important roles that make up the community, the most important of which is becoming what I call a "parent on a mission", which is the subject of this book.Although I understand this whole village proverb is well intended, it was meant for a different time, place, and culture. It's not the message parents need in today's culture of competition with 24/7 access to internet information, programs, and peer pressure through social media. Our intention is not to blame parents but to name parents as the most important people in the community. What we want from the "village" is help, not control of our children. That is our responsibility. If we parents are willing to take part of the credit for the success of our children, we ought to be just as willing to accept part of the responsibility when our children fail in their social responsibilities as citizens of the larger community. I never assume that when children go astray that the parent is a bad person, negligent, or abusive. But what I have found is that many parents have simply never really learned many of the principles taught in the POM curriculum that I share in this book. Those who have learned these principles and practice them, in most cases, have healthy relationships with their kids who are leading productive lives. These parents usually learned how to have a healthy relationship with their kids from their parents, or whoever was the principal person who raised them as children. Yet, all too often, many of us lacked parents who could demonstrate to us how to go about building healthy human relationships and thus we end up using the age-old philosophy of child rearing; "If it was good enough for me, it's good enough for you", but in many cases this philosophy doesn't produce healthy parent-child relationships. As parents respond to the ideas, and consistently practice the principles and encouragement in this book, I am confident they will have the same life transformation I call the "POM experience".

The Subconscious Mind: An IntroductionWelcome to a fascinating journey into the depths of your mind - a realm that holds immense power and potential to transform your life. In this subchapter, we will delve into the mysteries of the subconscious mind, exploring its significance and unveiling the incredible ways it can shape your reality. Prepare to embark on a remarkable exploration of the power of thoughts and how they can reprogram your destiny.The subconscious mind is a reservoir of thoughts, beliefs, memories, and emotions that exist beneath the surface of our conscious awareness. It is like the unseen force that influences every aspect of our lives, from our actions and decisions to our relationships and overall well-being. While the conscious mind is responsible for logic and reasoning, the subconscious mind operates on a different level - one that is deeply connected to our emotions, instincts, and intuition.It is essential to understand that the subconscious mind does not differentiate between positive and negative thoughts. It merely accepts what is impressed upon it, regardless of its nature. Therefore, if we consistently feed our subconscious mind with negative thoughts, doubts, and fears, it will manifest these negative patterns in our lives. On the other hand, if we consciously choose to fill our minds with positive thoughts, empowering beliefs, and a strong sense of purpose, our subconscious mind will work relentlessly to bring these dreams into reality.Harnessing the power of thoughts begins with awareness. By becoming aware of our thought patterns, we can identify any self-limiting beliefs or negative programming that may be holding us back. Once we recognize these patterns, we can start reprogramming our subconscious mind by replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations and visualizations. This process requires patience, persistence, and consistent practice, but the rewards are immense.As you embark on this journey of reprogramming your destiny, it is important to remember that the power lies within you. By recognizing the incredible potential of your subconscious mind and learning to harness it effectively, you can transform your life in ways you never thought possible. By actively choosing empowering thoughts, cultivating a positive mindset, and aligning your actions with your deepest desires, you can create a life filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment.

Mit ihrem Projekt "hallohebamme" machen Marie Kuon und Anja Stern tradiertes Hebammenwissen einer jungen Generation zugänglich - verständlich, auf den Punkt, mit viel Substanz. In ihrem Buch führen sie diesen Ansatz nun fort. Im Vordergrund stehen darin Fragen, die man sich wirklich stellt in dieser aufregenden Zeit. Wie klappt das Stillen - und was, wenn ich gar nicht will? Welche Mittel aus der Naturheilkunde haben sich bewährt? Pipi, Kacka, Ohrenschmalz - was gilt es beim Neugeborenen zu beachten bei Farbe, Konsistenz und Menge? Praxisnah, in anschaulichen Texten und Bildern, ohne Tabus und frei von Ideologie zeigen sie frischgebackenen Eltern alles, was man über das Wochenbett und die Babyzeit wissen muss.

Erinnerungen an das Leben im Mutterleib, die Geburt und die frühe Kindheit sind im Körper gespeichert und haben lebenslange Konsequenzen. Solange diese unbewussten Erfahrungen nicht auf sinnvolle Weise bewusst integriert werden können, behalten sie weiterhin Macht über uns, was unsere Fähigkeit zur Findung von Ganzheit in unserem Leben beeinträchtigt.Matthew Appleton untersucht, unter starkem Einfluss der Arbeiten Wilhelm Reichs, wie diese Erfahrungen in uns verwurzelt sind und unsere Beziehungen beeinflussen, wobei er besonderes Augenmerk auf die Polyvagal-Theorie und Sexualität legt. Mit seiner Synthese der Disziplinen der pränatalen, transpersonalen und somatischen Psychologie veranschaulicht er darüber hinaus Therapiemethoden zur Erschließung dieser Erfahrungen und den therapeutischen Wert ihrer Anerkennung und Integration.

Ist Mütterlichkeit weiblich? Nein, Mütterlichkeit ist menschlich. Doch als kulturelle Denkfigur wurde sie historisch an die gesellschaftliche Position der Frau gebunden. Zwar ist dieses Konzept in eine Schieflage geraten; doch trotz gleichstellungspolitischer Maßnahmen und einer gelebten Vielfalt von Familienformen ist es bisher erst im Ansatz gelungen, die auf kulturell tradierten Normen und Handlungsmustern beruhende Denkfigur der Mütterlichkeit zu verändern. Unbewusste Stereotypien prägen elterliches Denken und Handeln auch in der heutigen Familiengestaltung und verhindern eine gleichberechtigte Verteilung der familiären Aufgaben.Wie können wir Mütterlichkeit und Fürsorgeverpflichtung gesamtgesellschaftlich neu denken? Helga Krüger-Kirn plädiert für eine Loslösung der Mütterlichkeit aus ihrer normativen Zuschreibung an die Frau und ihren Körper und prüft die Prämissen bereits bestehender soziologischer, psychoanalytischer und (neuro-)biologischer Theorien auf ihr Potenzial, Mütterlichkeit geschlechterübergreifend zu leben.

Each child is a miracle and deserves the best. Yet, in today's tumultuous world, children are surrounded and programmed by the rhetoric of chaos, fear, separation-consciousness, increased violence, emotional and mental trauma, and escapism through increased illicit drug use.As parents, educators, and caregivers, we have the choice of raising empowered children who face life's challenges and adversities with grace and ability and who co-create the reality they desire while living their purpose and peace every day or raising children who feel helpless, confused, lost, suffer low self-esteem, and become victims of their circumstances. The Power of Universal Laws: A Parent/Teacher Guide to Raising Empowered Children in Four Stages guides readers through these four powerful stages: Stage 1 examines the awareness of the comfort zone in confronting fears and limiting beliefs. Stage 2 explores extending the comfort zone. Stage 3 discusses learning and growing through introspection. Stage 4 looks at transformation through living an authentic, empowered life and co-creating the desired reality with least effort.The best gift we can offer our children is to sow the seeds of empowerment by modeling and teaching them the timeless power and wisdom of the universal laws, supporting each stage when they are young, and enabling them to tap into their innate divine power, their truth, and capacity to be deliberate co-creators of their lives, unapologetically shining their light.
