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.

For many years as a Social Worker, I worked with parents who struggled with having some basic knowledge of rearing their children. It is often said that "parenting does not come with a learning guide." We tend to rely on our innate abilities to care for our children, trial and error, advice from elders, literature, primary care physicians, etc. Granted, the aforementioned entities are excellent sources to rely on; however, I decided to gather data from all areas and my knowledge. As a result, I developed a parenting guide to cover some basic child-rearing practices from conception to adulthood. Pre-natal care, toddler care, pre-k care, school-aged childcare, and caring for your teen are covered. Surprisingly, while researching and compiling this parenting guide, I discovered some things that I wish I had known when rearing my two sons. My vision is to provide a hands-on guide for new and existing parents, a pathway to raising healthy, happy, self-assured children.

This is not a sob story. It's a story about the difficulties of growing into manhood and my own particular struggle with disabling anxiety that came along with it, and how I managed to find my way.

I observe that boys today are up against a whole lot more in their quest to become fully functional adult men.
