Gravid og fødsel

The No. 1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller.Written by Naoki Higashida when he was only thirteen, this remarkable book provides a rare insight into the often baffling behaviour of autistic children. Using a question and answer format, Naoki explains things like why he talks loudly or repeats the same questions, what causes him to have panic attacks, and why he likes to jump. He also shows the way he thinks and feels about his world - other people, nature, time and beauty, and himself. Abundantly proving that people with autism do possess imagination, humour and empathy, he also makes clear how badly they need our compassion, patience and understanding.David Mitchell and his wife have translated Naoki's book so that it might help others dealing with autism and generally illuminate a little-understood condition. It gives us an exceptional chance to enter the mind of another and see the world from a strange and fascinating perspective.The book also features eleven original illustrations, inspired by Naoki's words, by the artistic duo Kai and Sunny.

'Naomi Stadlen's What Mothers Do: Especially When It Looks Like Nothing makes you feel like a million dollars' Zoe Williams, GuardianHave you ever spent all day looking after your baby or young child - and ended up feeling that you have 'done nothing all day'? Do you sometimes find it hard to feel pleased with what you are doing, and tell yourself you should achieve more with your time? Maybe it's because you can't see how much you are doing already. In this unique and perceptive look at mothering, Naomi Stadlen draws on many years' work with hundreds of other mothers of a wide variety of ages and backgrounds. She explores mothers' experiences to reveal what they - and you - are doing when it may look, to everyone else, like nothing.If you are a mother, and have ever felt: that nobody understands what you do all day; overwhelmed by your feelings for your baby; tired all the time; that nothing prepared you for motherhood; uncertain what your baby seems to want; short-tempered with your partner - you will find this the most reassuring book you have ever picked up.

Bestselling author of Money: A Love Story Kate Northrup writes to explain that the way for (working) mothers to cope with the never-ending to-do list of responsibilities is not to try to fit into the system, or to 'lean in'... it's to make a whole new system, one not dependent on how productive women are, but where they do less and achieve more.

By the New York Times bestselling authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline.What's the one thing a parent can do to make the most difference to their child in the long term? The research is clear: be present, show up! One of the best predictors for any child's future happiness and success is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. With all of today's demands and distractions, this might sound like a tall order. But as bestselling parenting experts Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, showing up doesn't take a lot of time, energy, or money. It's simple to do once you understand the four building blocks of a child's healthy development: making them feel safe, seen, soothed, and secure.Based on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, illustrations, and tips for when our kids are struggling or when they're enjoying success; when we're consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we're apologising for the times we haven't shown up for them. Demonstrating that it's never too late to correct mistakes and mend broken trust, this is a powerful guide to cultivating your child's healthy emotional landscape.

Linda Acredolo og Susan Goodwyn arbejder begge med forskning i spædbørns og babyers udvikling, og har tidligere skrevet Baby Signs, der påkaldte sig international opmærksomhed. Denne bog er henvendt til forældre til småbørn der interesserer sig for, og gerne vil stimulere, deres børns mentale udvikling. Med afsæt i deres egen og andres forskning har de sammensat en lang række sjove lege der falder barnet helt naturligt, men som kickstarter de dele af hjernen der blandt andet arbejder med matematik, musik, sprog, logisk tænkning, og kreativitet. Aktiviteterne er inddelt efter barnets alder, fra nyfødt til 36 måneder. Ikke alene vil engagerede forældre direkte kunne fremme deres børns intelligens med denne bog, de vil med garanti også fascineres når forfatterne beskriver hvilket potentiale babyers hjerner i virkeligheden besidder. Her er nogle få eksempler på helt naturlige evner hos spædbørn, som deres forskning har vist: - En nyfødt kan genkende historier hun har hørt som foster. - Et to dage gammelt spædbarn kan imitere sine forældres ansigtsudtryk. - En tre måneder gammel baby viser overraskende detaljeret hukommelse. - En fem måneder gammel baby kan lægge sammen og trække fra. Endnu vigtigere end at legene stimulerer barnets tænkning, vil bogen binde forælderen og barnet sammen i de fælles aktiviteter barnet i forvejen er så glad for. Informativ, praktisk anvendelig, og dybt interessant.

Selvom børn i dag kan overkomme mange ting, kniber det ofte med fokus og selvkontrol, med overskud til at klare små udfordringer og med forståelse for deres egen rolle i fællesskabet. Alt sammen egenskaber, der har med robusthed at gøre. Robusthed læres i barndommen, og en robust karakter er vigtig, når barnet som ung og voksen skal forme sit eget liv og finde mod til egne holdninger. Børn trives bedst, når de kan takle svære situationer med overskud og komme godt igennem et nederlag. Derfor skal forældre, pædagoger og lærere turde udfordre og motivere børn til at gå lidt længere, end de selv troede muligt. Samtidig skal børnene hjælpes til at rumme sårbare og svære følelser. Robusthed er ikke det modsatte af sårbarhed, tværtimod. Med stor indsigt og rammende eksempler undersøger Per Schultz Jørgensen de forskellige psykologiske og pædagogiske sider af begrebet robusthed. Det teoretiske grundlag suppleres af konkrete metoder til, hvordan man udvikler børns robusthed i familien, børnehaven og skolen – både for stærke børn, der har det godt, og for udfordrede børn, der kæmper mere med livet. PER SCHULTZ JØRGENSEN er psykolog, dr.phil. og professor emeritusi socialpsykologi. Som en af landets mest erfarne forskere inden for familieliv og børnepsykologi har han i årtier hjulpet forældre, pædagoger og politikere til bedre forståelse af børns trivsel og vilkår. Fra 1993-2001 var han medlem og siden formand for Børnerådet, og i 2015 modtog han UNICEF Prisen for sit mangeårige arbejde. Han er forfatter til en række artikler og bøger, senest "Styrk dit barns karakter" (2014) og "Broen til det andet menneske" (2016).

"Bogen om hjemmefødsel" udkom første gang i 2003, men er stadig yderst aktuel for alle, der overvejer eller interesserer sig for hjemmefødsel.En af de mest sejlivede myter om hjemmefødsler er, at det er noget, der hører forgangne tider til, og som i dag kun praktiseres meget langt ude på landet, i gamle hippiekollektiver og blandt tilhængere af new age-sekter. Men der er ikke noget som helst gammeldags ved hjemmefødsler. Faktisk kan hjemmefødsel betragtes som det moderne valg, hvor den enkelte kvinde og familie vælger at have maksimal indflydelse på fødslen."Bogen om hjemmefødsel" beskriver indgående de særlige forhold, der gør sig gældende ved hjemmefødsel. Den besvarer en lang række spørgsmål, man som vordende forældre kan have, hvis man overvejer eller planlægger at føde hjemme, fx: Hvem kan føde hjemme? Hvad kan man have brug for til selve fødslen og til tiden efter? Skal man have fødselshjælpere med? Hvor i hjemmet kan fødslen foregå? Hvilke former for smertelindring findes der?"Bogen om hjemmefødsel" er skrevet af fem kvinder, der alle har født hjemme. Udover at videregive saglig information om emnet beretter de om egne erfaringer med at føde hjemme, om valget af hjemmefødsel og omverdenens reaktioner. Bogen indeholder blandt andet interviews med en jordemoder og en fødselslæge, en oversigt over hjemmefødselsordninger og gode råd fra far til far. Store dele af bogen er også relevant for ambulant fødende, blandt andet kapitlerne om fødestillinger, barselsgæster, pleje af det nyfødte barn og amning.Landsformand for Den Almindelige Danske Jordemoderforening, Lillian Bondo, og overlæge i gynækologi og obstetrik Ole Eik Jørgensen har gransket bogens faktuelle oplysninger.

Børn lærer af andre børn og voksne. Interessen for, hvordan samarbejde i sociale sammenhænge bidrager til barnets indlæring og udvikling, er voksende.Den mest indflydelsesrige forsker på området har utvivlsomt været Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934), som virkede i det tidligere Sovjetunionen.Interessen for Vygotsky har været stigende, og specielt hans teori om sammenhængen mellem tænkning og sprog samt begrebet 'zonen for den nærmeste udvikling' har spillet en betydelig rolle i den danske pædagogiske og psykologiske debat.Denne bog viser, at hans bidrag til forskningen fortsat er højst aktuelle.

Dette er en e-bog, der handler om det dysfunktionelle mønster, der kaldes Offertrekanten (også kaldet Dramatrekanten). I bogen vil du få en grundig indsigt i de tre roller som Offer, Redder og Forfølger, og i, hvordan deres indbyrdes dynamik udspiller sig. Og du vil også få indblik i, hvordan mønsteret kan udspille sig i familien, i parforholdet eller på arbejdspladsen. Endelig indeholder bogen også en del, som du kan bruge som støtte, hvis du ønsker at træde ud af mønsteret. Bogen er skrevet for mennesker, som ønsker at få indsigt i denne dynamik, det er ikke en akademisk bog, men en bog jeg har skrevet på basis af litteraturstudier men i høj grad også erfaringer, da jeg i mit arbejde som parterapeut, psykoterapeut , supervisor og organisationskonsulent, ser hvor ofte dette mønster udspiller sig i vores relationer.

I et velfærdssamfund som det danske er børneopdragelse ikke blot forældrenes opgave, men et anliggende for både samfund og stat. Den store opmærksomhed på børns trivsel og opførsel fra både medier og politikere fortæller om en udtalt bevågenhed og statslig prioritering. Denne samfundsinvolvering gør det vigtigt at se nærmere på børneinstitutionerne.For hvad er det for mennesker og medborgere, man søger at opdrage børnene til at blive? Hvad er det for værdier for opførsel og omgang, der arbejdes med? - og stemmer de overens med den opdragelsespraksis, der foregår i familier? Hvilke interesser er institutionaliseringen af børneopdragelsen udtryk for, og hvilke konsekvenser har den for børnene og for samfundet?Med afsæt i sociologen Norbert Elias civiliseringsbegreb forsøger denne bog at besvare disse spørgsmål. På baggrund af etnografiske feltarbejder ibørnehaver, folkeskoler og familier, samt interviews med 4-16 årige børn, deres forældre, pædagoger og lærere præsenterer bogen en række analyser af institutionsliv og opdragelse. Formålet er at få indsigt i de idealer og distinktioner, der ligger i den institutionelle organisering af børns liv i det danske velfærdssamfund.
