Las 6 necesidades de cada niño: Empoderar a padres e hijos a través de la ciencia de la conexión
By Amy Elizabeth Olrick, Jeffrey Olrick. 2021
Como la mayoría de los padres, Amy y Jeffrey Olrick salieron del hospital con su primer hijo desesperados por saber: «¿Qué hacemos?».…
Pero años de crianza de tres hijos y el trabajo de Jeffrey como psicólogo infantil los convenció de hacer una pregunta mejor: «¿Cómo debo estar con esta nueva persona?». En una cultura obsesionada con las fórmulas parentales, es fácil pasar por alto el hecho de que la ciencia y la experiencia vivida han demostrado que el desarrollo humano y la prosperidad son una cuestión de relación. Basándose en décadas de investigación psicológica, neurociencia y su propia experiencia como padres y personas de fe, los Olrick presentan seis necesidades relacionales para el crecimiento humano que transformarán la forma en que piensa sobre su hijo y sobre sí mismo. Juntas, las necesidades forman una brújula confiable para guiarlo a usted y a su hijo hacia un camino de propósito y plenitud relacional.Para los padres que se sienten atraídos en cientos de direcciones, mareados por el volumen de estrategias contradictorias y cansados por los programas para padres que complicaron su propia infancia, Las 6 necesidades de cada niño es un mapa de ruta innovadora que integra la ciencia de la conexión con herramientas prácticas. Estará equipado con:• Una mirada profunda a los seis elementos esenciales que su hijo necesita para prosperar• Herramientas para usar cuando se sienta atrapado• El secreto para asegurar la conexión con su hijo• Herramientas de autoevaluación para discernir su estilo de crianza únicoMás que una guía para padres, este libro es su invitación a liberarse del mito de la paternidad perfecta y abrazar el largo viaje de crecimiento de su hijo. Con perspicacia, humor y compasión, llama a los padres a descubrir el poder de estar imperfectamente presentes con sus hijos, desarrollando una capacidad de recuperación mental, emocional y espiritual que los sostendrá durante toda la vida.The 6 Needs of Every ChildLike most parents, Amy and Jeffrey Olrick left the hospital with their first child desperate to know, "What do we do?" But years of parenting three kids and Jeffrey's work as a child psychologist convinced them to ask a better question: "How shall I be with this new person?"In a culture obsessed with parenting formulas, it's easy to miss the fact that science and lived experience have proven that human development and thriving are a matter of relationship. Drawing on decades of psychological research, neuroscience, and their own experience as parents and people of faith, the Olricks present six relational needs for human growth that will transform the way you think about your child--and yourself. Together, the needs form a trustworthy compass to guide you and your child to a path of purpose and relational wholeness.For parents who feel pulled in a hundred directions, dizzied by the volume of clashing strategies, and jaded by the parenting programs that complicated their own childhoods, The 6 Needs of Every Child is a groundbreaking roadmap integrating the science of connection with practical tools.The Zen Mama Guide to Finding Your Rhythm in Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond the: Finding Your Path Through Pregnancy, Birth, And Beyond

She first published her book (Haimsheli, by top publisher Kinneret Zmora Bitan) in 2018, and it became the national bestseller of the year across all categories in Israel, making her a national celebrity.My Everything resonated because mothers read it, cried and smiled, and discovered a way to look at their children as independent people, not solely as an extension of who they are or as a calling card.

It's scary and fun, it makes you fly and often lets you down." This book isn't so much a parenting guide as an exploration of the complex emotional journey of being a parent, reminding us of the courage and energy it requires as well as acknowledging that no parent is perfect and at the end of the day, this relationship is about connection.My Everything is a compassionate, loving answer to The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother to teach children to be strong and independent.

«Aunque no somos perfectos, debemos trabajar día a día para ser cada vez mejores madres y padres, guiando a nuestros…
hijos hacia un presente y un futuro mejor, el que desean y merecen.» Para ayudar a nuestros hijos e hijas a ser personas íntegras, respetuosas y responsables, que sepan dialogar y que amen y se dejen amar, hay que educarlos con principios claros basados en el respeto, la empatía y el amor incondicional. Hay que olvidar las discusiones y los gritos para educar en el respeto propio y mutuo, la coherencia y el cariño y así llegar a una convivencia armoniosa, sabiendo superar unidos las adversidades. Tania García, reconocida experta en educación, nos invita en esta guía a reconstruirnos y desterrar los mitos sociales en cuanto a la infancia, y nos aporta estrategias para vivir y convivir en familia, estableciendo los límites necesarios y reconociendo las emociones... pero sobre todo, disfrutando del día a día.Baby Benjamin's impressions

El principio de la vida: La transcendencia de los primeros meses de vida
By Encarna Muñoz. 2021
El libro que desvela la trascendencia de los primeros meses de vida para el desarrollo socioafectivo del bebé. Un libro…
científico y divulgativo que aborda, en positivo, el origen de muchos de los desajustes psicológicos que desarrollan niños y adultos a raíz de un vinculo deficitario con los padres. La salud mental, la inteligencia y los rasgos de la personalidad quedan establecidos en gran parte durante los primeros meses de vida y sobre este temprano desarrollo se apoyará el resto del crecimiento. Este libro ofrece a los padres una visión más completa de todos los cambios que ellos deben experimentar para adaptarse a las necesidades de su hijo y ayudarlos a iniciar el vínculo desde antes incluso del nacimiento y, sobre todo, en los primerísimos instantes de vida. «Como suele suceder con la mayoría de experiencias, la de ser padres resulta una experiencia intransferible, y nada puede llegar a transmitir la transformación que supone para los progenitores, el nacimiento de un hijo. Por eso, el objetivo de este libro no es sustituir el criterio de los padres, sino más bien inspirarles respuestas que surjan desde dentro de sí mismos. Conseguir que la información que puedan obtener de él, reorganice lo que ya desde hace tiempo se encuentra dentro de ellos por instinto.»Criar desde el corazón: Soluciones honestas de la infancia a la adolescencia
By Beatriz M. Muñoz, Nitdia Aznárez. 2021
Tras el éxito de sus libros anteriores, Beatriz M. Muñoz y Nitdia Aznárez, traen Criar desde el corazón, una guía…
familiar para educar de forma más consciente, a través de la simbiosis de Montessori, la disciplina positiva y la conexión con uno mismo y la naturaleza. En este nuevo enfoque, ofrecen herramientas y soluciones respetuosas para que nuestros pequeños sean más autónomos y responsables, y especialmente para que cada miembro de la familia encuentre su lugar, y así, crezcan sintiéndose vistos y amados de forma incondicional. Para ello, es necesario que las personas adultas cultivemos también la conexión con nuestro niño interior, porque si queremos enfrentarnos a los retos diarios y a las necesidades de nuestros hijos e hijas desde la honestidad, tendremos que empezar por cuidarnos y comprendernos a nosotros mismos. Con este completo manual, aprenderemos a dejar atrás los castigos, los premios y todas las prácticas que no cultivan el amor incondicional, y a construir un entorno seguro, alentador y de calma familiar para nuestros hijos, desde su primera infancia hasta su adolescencia, sin perder el foco de la compasión y la benevolencia hacia nosotros mismos.What to Expect: Eating Well When You're Expecting 2nd Edition (What To Expect Ser.)

nostres fills ens descol·loquen i ens fan perdre els nervis. Fins tot posen a prova la paciència dels pares més conscients i respectuosos. Però aquestes enrabiades també ens poden ajudar a saber què els passa. Aquest llibre no pretén donar lliçons sobre com podem posar fi a les enrabiades dels nostres fills. Més aviat ens fa contemplar-les com una gran oportunitat de creixement i aprenentatge personal. Des de la seva experiència com a mare de dues filles i experta en criança conscient, Míriam Tirado ens dona consells i eines per educar els més petits de la casa des d'una altra perspectiva, més serena, respectuosa i amb sentit de l'humor. Aprendrem a relacionar-nos amb els nens d'una manera més efectiva, recorrent al joc i a la imaginació; a desenvolupar l'empatia i acceptar les enrabiades com una part fonamental del creixement i a revisar les nostres idees sobre la infància, les nostres projeccions i expectatives. I tot això ho aprendrem amb l'objectiu de créixer en respecte, consciència i amor, perquè puguem ajudar millor els nostres fills i filles en el seu camí vital.How to Eat with One Hand: Recipes and Other Nourishment for New and Expectant Parents

By Tovah Feldshuh. 2021
This heartwarming and funny memoir from a beloved actress tells the story of a mother and daughter whose narrative reflects American…
cultural changes and the world's shifting expectations of women.From Golda to Ginsburg, Yentl to Mama Rose, Tallulah to the Queen of Mean, Tovah Feldshuh has always played powerful women who aren't afraid to sit at the table with the big boys and rule their world. But offstage, Tovah struggled to fulfill the one role she never auditioned for: Lily Feldshuh's only daughter.Growing up in Scarsdale, NY in the 1950s, Tovah—known then by her given name Terri Sue—lived a life of piano lessons, dance lessons, shopping trips, and white-gloved cultural trips into Manhattan. In awe of her mother's meticulous appearance and perfect manners, Tovah spent her childhood striving for Lily's approval, only to feel as though she always fell short. Lily's own dreams were beside the point; instead, she devoted herself to Tovah's father Sidney and her two children. Tovah watched Lily retreat into the roles of the perfect housewife and mother and swore to herself, I will never do this.When Tovah shot to stardom with the Broadway hit Yentl, winning five awards for her performance, she still did not garner her mother's approval. But, it was her success in another sphere that finally gained Lily's attention. After falling in love with a Harvard-educated lawyer and having children, Tovah found it was easier to understand her mother and the sacrifices she had made during the era of the women's movement, the sexual revolution, and the subsequent mandate for women to "have it all."Beloved as he had been by both women, Sidney's passing made room for the love that had failed to take root during his life. In her new independence, Lily became outspoken, witty, and profane. "Don't tell Daddy this," Lily whispered to Tovah, "but these are the best years of my life." She lived until 103. In this insightful, compelling, often hilarious and always illuminating memoir, Tovah shares the highs and lows of a remarkable career that has spanned five decades, and shares the lessons that she has learned, often the hard way, about how to live a life in the spotlight, strive for excellence, and still get along with your mother. Through their evolving relationship we see how expectations for women changed, with a daughter performing her heart out to gain her mother's approval and a mother becoming liberated from her confining roles of wife and mother to become her full self. A great gift for Mother's Day—or any day when women want a joyous and meaningful way to celebrate each other.No Perfect Parents: Ditch Expectations, Embrace Reality, and Discover the One Secret That Will Change Your Parenting

a full life.Vulnerable narratives of fatherhood are few and far between; rarer still is an ethnography that delves into the practical and emotional realities of intensive caregiving. Grounded in the intimate everyday lives of men caring for children with major physical and intellectual disabilities, Worlds of Care undertakes an exploration of how men shape their identities in the context of caregiving. Anthropologist Aaron J. Jackson fuses ethnographic research and creative nonfiction to offer an evocative account of what is required for men to create habitable worlds and find some kind of "normal" when their circumstances are anything but. Combining stories from his fieldwork in North America with reflections on his own experience caring for his severely disabled son, Jackson argues that care has the potential to transform our understanding of who we are and how we relate to others.Still a Mother: Noncustodial Mothers, Gendered Institutions, and Social Change
By Jackie Krasas. 2021
Jackie Krasas traces the trajectories of mothers who have lost or ceded custody to an ex-partner. She argues that these…
noncustodial mothers' experiences should be understood within a greater web of gendered social institutions such as employment, education, health care, and legal systems that shapes the meanings of contemporary motherhood in the United States. If motherhood means "being there," then noncustodial mothers, through their absence, are seen as nonmothers. They are anti-mothers to be reviled. At the very least, these mothers serve as cautionary tales.Still a Mother questions the existence of an objective method for determining custody of children and challenges the "best-interests standard" through a feminist, reproductive justice lens. The stories of noncustodial mothers that Krasas relates shed light on marriage and divorce, caregiving, gender violence, and family court. Unfortunately, much of the contemporary discussion of child custody determination is dominated either by gender-neutral discussions, or, at the opposite end of the spectrum, by the idea that fathers are severely disadvantaged in custody disputes. As a result, the idea that mothers always receive custody has taken on the status of common sense. If this was true, as Krasas affirms, there would be no book to write.Developmental Milestones Guide: Parent Edition

By Kristin J. Wilson. 2014
One message that comes along with ever-improving fertility treatments and increasing acceptance of single motherhood, older first-time mothers, and same-sex…
partnerships, is that almost any woman can and should become a mother. The media and many studies focus on infertile and involuntarily childless women who are seeking treatment. They characterize this group as anxious and willing to try anything, even elaborate and financially ruinous high-tech interventions, to achieve a successful pregnancy. But the majority of women who struggle with fertility avoid treatment. The women whose interviews appear in Not Trying belong to this majority. Their attitudes vary and may change as their life circumstances evolve. Some support the prevailing cultural narrative that women are meant to be mothers and refuse to see themselves as childfree by choice. Most of these women, who come from a wider range of social backgrounds than most researchers have studied, experience deep ambivalence about motherhood and non-motherhood, never actually choosing either path. They prefer to let life unfold, an attitude that seems to reduce anxiety about not conforming to social expectations.
