Schwangerschaft & Elternschaft

Die meisten kennen ihn: den Traum von Familie. Doch wenn er wahrgeworden ist, entpuppt er sich für viele Elternpaare als Albtraum. Plötzlich streitet man sich über Dinge wie eine gerechte Aufgabenverteilung, unterschiedliche Vorstellungen in Sachen Erziehung, ungleiche Bedürfnisse, wenn es um Themen wie Freiheit und Zweisamkeit, Sex und Zärtlichkeit geht. Das hat die Familienpsychologin und Paartherapeutin Nina Grimm am eigenen Leib erfahren: Sie und ihr Partner lebten zwischen der Geburt ihrer beiden gemeinsamen Kinder ein Jahr getrennt. In ihrem Buch zeigt sie die 10 größten Fehler auf, die sie und ihr Mann auf dem Weg zur Trennung hingelegt haben. Authentisch und humorvoll beschreibt sie, wie sie und ihr Mann die Kurve gekriegt haben und heute eine glückliche Liebesbeziehung führen. Untermauert mit vielen Beispielen aus ihrer Paarberatung zeigt Nina, wie wir mit psychotherapeutischen Hacks diesen Fehlern vorbeugen können. Oder wie wir sie durchbrechen, falls wir schon mittendrin stecken. Ein Begleitbuch, um die anspruchsvollen Jahre als Elternpaar zu überleben, Konflikte konstruktiv zu lösen und eine langfristig liebevolle Beziehung zu leben.

Der BILD-Redakteur und erfolgreiche Autor Daniel Böcking beschreibt in seinem neuen Buch auf humorvolle und unterhaltsame Art die Gespräche mit seinen Kindern über Glauben, Gott und die Welt.Wenn Daniel Böcking Zeit mit seinen Kindern verbringt, geht es immer wieder um den Glauben an Gott. Das Gebet vor dem Essen und vor dem Schlafengehen ist ebenso Routine wie der sonntägliche Besuch im Gottesdienst. Dabei kommt es immer wieder zu spannenden Gesprächen, wenn die Kinder nach "Adam und Edelheim" fragen und darüber nachdenken: "Warum tut Jesus Christoph nichts gegen das Leid?".Daniel Böcking bemüht sich um passende Antworten. Kindgerecht, sympathisch, manchmal ungeplant lustig, aber immer ehrlich. Ein echtes Lesevergnügen mit vielen ungewöhnlichen Impulsen, nicht nur für Eltern, die mit ihren Kindern über Glauben reden wollen.

Das Buch "Die Suche nach deutschen Weltstars: Der unbequeme Blick hinter die Kulissen des deutschen Jugend-Fußballs" von Dantse Dantse ist ein kritischer und tiefgründiger Einblick in die Strukturen, die den deutschen Jugendfußball prägen. In dieser umfassenden Untersuchung entlarvt der Autor die vielfältigen Probleme und Hindernisse, die junge Talente auf ihrem Weg an die Spitze des Weltfußballs behindern. Dantse Dantse legt offen, wie das Zusammenspiel aus einem rigiden System, einer überholten Mentalität, problematischen Trainingsmethoden und dem Einfluss der Eltern dazu führt, dass viele potenziell weltklasse Spieler nicht die Entwicklung nehmen, die ihnen möglich wäre. Kernthemen des Buches:Systembedingte Hindernisse: Dantse analysiert, wie das straffe und oft unflexible deutsche Fußballsystem junge Talente eher ausbremst als fördert. Er kritisiert, dass die Strukturen nicht ausreichend Raum für individuelle Entwicklung und Kreativität lassen, was essenziell für das Erreichen der Weltspitze ist. Problematische Mentalität: Der Autor beleuchtet, wie eine veraltete Mentalität innerhalb des deutschen Fußballs Innovation und Fortschritt hemmt. Besonders im Fokus stehen die Themen Multikulturalität und die Integration von Spielern mit Migrationshintergrund, die nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt werden. Die Rolle der Trainer: Dantse stellt dar, wie Trainer durch ihre Methoden und Herangehensweisen oft mehr schaden als nutzen. Dabei werden Themen wie übermäßiger Druck, fehlende individuelle Förderung und teilweise auch unethisches Verhalten thematisiert. Einfluss der Eltern: Das Buch geht auch auf die Rolle der Eltern ein, deren Erwartungen und Druck zusätzliche Barrieren für die jungen Spieler darstellen können. Schockierende Geheimnisse: Der Autor scheut sich nicht, dunkle Aspekte wie Korruption, Vetternwirtschaft, den Missbrauch von "Vitamin B", Rassismus sowie Probleme mit Sex, Alkohol und Drogen im Jugendfußball anzusprechen. Diese Faktoren tragen zu einem Umfeld bei, das die Entwicklung von Talenten nicht nur nicht unterstützt, sondern aktiv behindert. Die andere Wahrheit: Dantse präsentiert Einblicke und Perspektiven, die oft im Verborgenen bleiben. Er zeigt auf, wie diese versteckten Mechanismen eine Kultur schaffen, die weit entfernt ist von den idealisierten Vorstellungen eines fairen und förderlichen Sports. Das Buch geht weit über eine einfache Kritik hinaus und bietet einen ungeschönten Einblick in die Realität des deutschen Jugendfußballs. Dantse Dantse fordert einen grundlegenden Wandel in Denkweisen, Strukturen und Herangehensweisen, um eine Umgebung zu schaffen, die wahre Talente erkennen, fördern und entwickeln kann. "Die Suche nach deutschen Weltstars" ist damit nicht nur eine schonungslose Analyse, sondern auch ein Aufruf zum Handeln - für ein besseres, gerechteres und erfolgreicheres System im deutschen Fußball.

Keine Pille der Welt kann Kindern ein starkes Fundament für ein gesundes und glückliches Leben geben. Kindergesundheit ist so viel mehr als Medizin, deshalb werden die Weichen für ein ganzheitlich gesundes Leben nicht in der Kinderarztpraxis, sondern zu Hause gelegt.  Was brauchen Kinder von ihren Eltern, um gesundheitserhaltende biologische Systeme, einen gesunden Körper und eine gesundheitsfördernde Gehirnarchitektur zu entwickeln? Ganzheitliche Kindergesundheit hat viele Facetten und Eltern geben ihr Bestes, um gesunde Rahmenbedingungen für ihr Kind zu schaffen. Aber was ist, wenn sie ihren Fokus während dieser Mission auf Themen richten, die zweifellos wichtig (wie z.B. der Umgang mit Infekten), aber vielleicht nicht am  wichtigsten  sind?  Kinder brauchen Eltern und Experten, die ihre ganzheitliche Natur verstehen, denn nur dann können sie Kindern das geben, was sie  wirklich  brauchen, um ein gesundes und glückliches Leben führen zu können. Kinder, die auf körperlicher, psychischer und seelischer Ebene das bekommen, was sie brauchen, können ihr genetisch veranlagtes gesundheitliches Potenzial optimal entfalten. Sie entwickeln ein anderes körperliches und psychisches Gesundheitsfundament als solche, deren Bedürfnisse ungesehen oder missachtet werden. In ihrem ersten Buch zeigt die Kinderärztin Désirée Ratay, wie wichtig das Familienleben und die Verbundenheit innerhalb der Familie für die Gesundheit - die psychische wie die körperliche - ihres Kindes sind. Wissenschaftlich fundiert, liebevoll aufbereitet und mit vielen praktischen Tipps hilft dieses Buch beim Verständnis kindlicher - und auch elterlicher - Nöte, Schmerzen und Bedürfnisse und zeigt, wie es gelingt, die Gesundheit nachhaltig zu stärken. Désirée's Vision ist es, ein ganzheitliches Verständnis von Kindergesundheit zu vermitteln. Ihr Wissen aus Kindermedizin, Neurowissenschaften und Psychologie kombiniert sie zu einem einzigartigen Ganzen und teilt es seit Jahren erfolgreich als "Dr. Mami" im Netz.

Having a baby can be wondrous, yet when a baby arrives: Couples fight more and relationship satisfaction plummets.Filled with straightforward, accessible guidance and 40+ easy to use tools to shift from conflict to connection, Fight Right for Your Baby helps you buck this trend. Why do new parents fight more? Because there is so much more to fight about: hundreds of new tasks to manage and divvy up, less money, time, sleep, and energy for intimacy, and even conflicting approaches to parenting your baby. Why learn to Fight Right when you barely have time for anything else? Because Fighting Wrong-your negative, unskilled, and unproductive conflict patterns-not only affects you and your spouse, but it can also stress your new baby and impact their developmental health. Your baby needs-really needs-parents who respect each other, collaborate well, and know how to get through conflict constructively. Parents need that, too.

There's a saying that having a baby is like a bomb going off in your relationship, and our sex lives are often part of the destruction left behind. But it doesn't have to be this way. Sexual satisfaction is at its lowest for couples who have kids under five. Sleepless nights, plus changes to our bodies, identities and priorities mean that the passion that brought you together can start to feel like a distant memory. But how can you retain a great sexual connection even when you have so little time? How can you make sure that you still feel like sexual partners not just strung out co-parents at the end of it all? Dr Karen Gurney is both a clinical psychologist and certified psychosexologist. In this essential book for parents everywhere, she will show you how to navigate the changes to your intimate lives that starting a family inevitably brings - and ensure you have great sex, forever. You'll discover how to communicate, how to invite intimacy, how to avoid key relationship pitfalls and how to survive the first year, including recovering from birth and managing the effects of sleep deprivation. Optimistic, wise and compassionate, this book shows you how to protect your sex life after kids, (re)connect with both your own sexual self and your partner's, and how to have a mutually satisfying sexual relationship, long-term.

Surviving Adolescence follows the roller coaster ride parents with teenagers experience, covering topics such as preparing for adolescence, the reality of confronting puberty, the family unit, bullying, burgeoning sexual issues, communicating effectively, and how to help teens tackle a new social environment, including cyberspace.

The Importance of Effective CommunicationIn today's fast-paced world, effective communication has become more crucial than ever before. It is the foundation of strong relationships, whether personal or professional. As caring parents, we often overlook the significance of effective communication in building a healthy connection with our teenagers. However, it is an essential skill that can bridge the gap between parents and their children, fostering understanding, trust, and mutual respect.Effective communication is not just about talking; it involves active listening, empathy, and understanding. By actively listening to our teenagers, we show them that their thoughts, feelings, and opinions matter. We create a safe space for them to express themselves without fear of judgment or ridicule. This encourages open dialogue and strengthens the parent-child bond.Moreover, effective communication helps us understand our teenagers' perspectives, challenges, and aspirations. It allows us to step into their shoes and see the world through their eyes. This understanding enables us to provide guidance and support tailored to their individual needs, fostering their personal growth and development.Additionally, effective communication promotes trust and respect between parents and teenagers. When we communicate openly and honestly, we build a foundation of trust that encourages our teenagers to confide in us. They feel comfortable sharing their concerns, fears, and achievements, knowing we will listen without prejudice. This trust empowers us to guide them through the ups and downs of adolescence and make informed decisions together.Furthermore, effective communication equips our teenagers with vital life skills. By modeling effective communication, we teach them how to express themselves effectively, resolve conflicts peacefully, and build healthy relationships. These skills are invaluable as they navigate the complexities of adulthood, empowering them to succeed in their personal and professional lives.

Everything in my life was on track, just like it was supposed to be, and exactly how I had planned. I was in a loving relationship, had a nice house, a good job, a great family, and was just about to welcome our son into this world. We couldn't wait another moment for our new adventure as a family to begin. But the moment Theo was born, everything changed. I was met with challenges and emotions I did not plan for and had no control over. I lost my identity and had no idea if I would ever see that person again. I muddled through, longing for my old life back. Why did I feel like this when this was all I had dreamed about for so long? Feeling ashamed of how I felt, I isolated myself and my feelings. But as time went on, I began to realise that there is no normal and there is no shame in missing my old life. Everyone's experiences are different; all babies have their own agenda, and our bodies and minds do not always react in the way we want or plan for. I decided to share my journey to help mothers to be honest about the reality of motherhood - the good and the bad. As a first-time parent, I had no former experience and perhaps unrealistic expectations of what parenting really looked like, and I was overwhelmed with the reality. I was too ashamed to speak up and say how I felt in fear of not living up to the picture-perfect mother, but the only one who suffered was me. This book exposes the reality of motherhood beyond the perfect Instagram posts, and the pleasantries shared between mums over a coffee. But as time went on, I started to find my own unique path, being the best mum, I could possibly be. Finally letting go of my unrealistic expectations of motherhood. I realised (maybe later than others) that the rewards to motherhood are priceless, more extraordinary than anything I ever expected. They are unpredictable, incomparable, and irreplaceable. They are to be kept safe inside us as a reminder of why we embarked on this beautiful turbulent journey in the first place.
