Om nærvær, respekt og grænser mellem voksne og børn.Denne bog handler om det, der med et gammeldags udtryk hedder "at sætte grænser for børn". Den beskriver, hvordan vi som mennesker kan afgrænse os i forhold til andre mennesker – også små og store børn – på måder, hvor ingen kommer til skade, og hvor kontakten får så høj kvalitet som muligt.Den kærlighed, vi føler for vores børn og de voksne, der står os nærmest, opleves på én måde af os selv og på en anden måde af dem. Deres oplevelse afhænger af, hvordan vi omsætter vores kærlige følelser til kærlige handlinger.På mange måder er både børns og voksnes oplevelse af at blive elsket helt individuel, men det er et fællestræk ved os, at vi ikke oplever os elsket, når vores personlige grænser bliver krænket eller ikke respekteret. Når krænkelserne er grove og hyppige, falder vores selvværd og dermed vores evne til at handle konstruktivt. Vi kan hverken passe ordentligt på os selv eller forbedre kontakten med den, der krænker os. Det gælder for både børn og voksne.Jesper Juul er familieterapeut og leder af The Kempler Institute of Scandinavia.

From the author of Irreversible Damage, an investigation into how mental health overdiagnosis is harming, not helping, childrenIn virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z's mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What's gone wrong?In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn't the kids - it's the mental health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers and young people themselves, Shrier explores the ways the mental health industry has transformed the way we teach, treat, discipline and even talk to our kids. She reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits: for instance, talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression; while 'gentle parenting' can encourage emotional turbulence - even violence - in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult to be in charge.Mental health care can be lifesaving when properly applied to children with severe needs, but for the typical child, the cure can be worse than the disease. Bad Therapy is a must-read for anyone questioning why our efforts to support our kids have backfired - and what it will take for parents to lead a turnaround.

'I will be recommending this book to every parent' Dr Laura Markham'I adore this book!' Dr Tina Payne BrysonOver her decades as a clinical psychologist, Dr Mona Delahooke has helped countless distraught parents who struggle to manage their children's challenging behaviours. These families are understandably focused on correcting or improving a child's lack of compliance, emotional outbursts, tantrums and other 'out of control' behaviour. But behaviour, no matter how challenging, is not the problem but a symptom; a clue about what is happening in a child's unique physiological makeup.In Brain-Body Parenting, Dr Delahooke offers a radical new approach to parenting based on an approach that considers the essential role of the entire nervous system, which produces children's feelings and behaviours.When we begin to understand the biology beneath the behaviour, suggests Dr Delahooke, we give our children the resources they need to grow and thrive, and we give ourselves the gift of a happier, more connected relationship with them. Brain-Body Parenting empowers parents with tools to help their children develop self-regulation skills, while also encouraging parental self-care. The result is a deeper understanding of your child, encouraging calmer behaviour, more harmonious family dynamics, and increased resilience.

Ny bog fra psykologen og bestsellerforfatteren Pia Callesen med inspiration, råd og vejledning til, hvordan forældre kan støtte deres teenagere.Mange unge har det i dag svært og kæmper med bekymringer, negative tanker og lavt selvværd. Det er smerteligt at se sin teenager mistrives, og som forældre vil vi gøre alt, hvad der står i vores magt, for at mindske deres tristhed, uro og ubehag. Problemet er, at vi ofte gør alt for meget.Når vi i bedste mening har al opmærksomhed rettet mod de unge for at hjælpe dem ud af deres tristhed og skærme dem mod smerte, risikerer vi modsatte effekt. For i vores kamp mod mistrivslen fastholder vi vores teenageres fokus på egne bekymringer og negative tanker, og det kan føre dem ind i en tung spiral af modløshed.I stedet skal vi vise dem, at negative tanker og følelser som tristhed, vrede, angst, sorg og frygt er lige så normale, uundgåelige og forbigående som glæde, stolthed og lykke. Vi skal hjælpe dem til at undgå timelange spekulationer om eget værd ved at lade bekymringerne være og i stedet flytte fokus ud i verden væk fra sig selv. På den måde kan de lære at mestre livet – også når det er svært.Mod på Livet er en inspirationsguide til forældre, som bygger på teorien bag metakognitiv terapi og forfatterens erfaringer med de udfordringer, som unge og deres forældre fortæller om i terapien.Bogen giver eksempler, råd og vejledning til, hvordan forældre kan støtte deres teenagere i at flytte fokus fra den indre til den ydre verden og til at tænke mindre og leve mere.

At flytte hjemmefra kan være udfordrende, men at være den, der bliver ladt tilbage, kan være mindst lige så svært. Det fandt Maise Njor ud af, da hendes datter Asta-Maja fløj fra reden til Rom. Heldigvis var de ikke længere væk fra hinanden end en mail, og gennem deres korrespondance får de styr på nogle af de ting, som kan være svære at tale om, når man sidder ansigt til ansigt: kærlighed, skilsmisse, opdragelse, venskaber, feminisme og italienske mænd. Alle veje fører til moR er et kærligt og ærligt portræt af to generationer – en gribende, sjov og alvorlig korrespondance mellem mor og datter. Bogen er for alle, der er eller har været barn af en forælder. Mens I havde allermest brug for nogle stærke forældre, lå jeg på sofaen og stirrede ud i luften. Det kunne jeg ikke være bekendt.– MaiseForældre er jo bare voksne børn, og når man fatter det, kan man jo næsten ikke blive sur.– Asta-Maja

Why is it that the behaviour of teenagers can be so odd? As they grow older, young children steadily improve their sense of how to behave, and then all of a sudden, they can become totally uncommunicative, wildly emotional and completely unpredictable. We used to think that erratic teenage behaviour was due to a sudden surge in hormones, but modern neuroscience shows us that this isn't true. The Teenage Brain is a journey through the new discoveries that show us exactly what happens to the brain in this crucial period, how it dictates teenagers' behaviour, and how the experiences of our teenage years are what shape our attitudes, and often our happiness in later life. Many of our ideas about our growing brains are completely re-written. They don't stop developing at the end of our teens - they keep adapting until we are in our mid-twenties. They are wired back to front, with the most important parts, the parts that we associate with good judgement, concentration, organization and emotional and behavioural control being connected last of all. The Teenage brain is a powerful animal primed for learning, but this creates problems. Addiction is a form of learning, and Frances Jensen, Professor of Pediatric Neurology at the teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School reveals exactly what lies behind all aspects of teenage behaviour and its lasting effects - from drugs, lack of sleep and smoking to multi-tasking and stress. As a mother and a scientist, Professor Jensen offers both exciting science and practical suggestions for how parents, teens and schools can help teenagers weather the storms of adolescence, and get the most out of their incredible brains.
