The period from 18 months to three years is called the terrible twos for a reason. The toddler years are the most active that a human will be in their whole lifetime. Everything is new. Words, emotions, and physical sensations. The child is learning how to interact with the world and looks to you, the parent, for guidance on right behavior. But toddlers aren't rational adults who are able to think deeply about what they are doing. They are testing their boundaries through actions. They want to see what works and what doesn't.

Det er ikke nemt og oftest ej heller nogens første prioritet, for det siger sig selv, at det er en kæmpe glæde at være to om at dele lykken ved at sætte et barn i verden, to om at elske det barn, to om at dele ansvar og bekymringer om barnet, økonomi og meget, meget mere. Alligevel skulle jeg mene, at det må være det hele værd!" "Solomor" fortæller historien om Anne Nim Pedersens erfaringer med en familieform, der vinder fremgang i disse år.

Well, parenting toddlers is nonstop cat herding. Herding Cats is an up-close, real-life look at the world of a toddler parent. A world of tantrums and potty training. A world of never-ending snot. A world of hilariously inappropriate comments, limitless growth, and perfectly timed "I love you"s.

Leuchtende Kinderaugen, tiefes Glück und Verbundenheit - ist es das, was uns beim Schenken so gut gefällt? Woher wissen wir, was unsere Kinder wirklich brauchen und welches Geschenk sie sogar ein Leben lang begleiten kann?

Sie rauben Kindern die Kraft, die in ihnen angelegten Talente und Begabungen zu entfalten und ihr Leben selbständig und eigenverantwortlich zu gestalten.

Hilfe, die Kinder spielen Doktor! Kindliche Sexualität - ein wenig Befremden ruft das Thema doch immer wieder hervor.

Kindliche Sexualität ist immer noch ein Tabu und vonseiten der Erwachsenen mit einiger Unsicherheit verbunden.

Loben und belohnen Sie Kinder schön fleißig? Dann lassen Sie es bitte von jetzt an! Denn Lob und Belohnung, egal ob gut gemeint oder manipulativ, bewirken genau das Gegenteil vom Gewünschten: Sie sind demotivierend, führen zu Lobsucht, Konkurrenzdenken, Leistungsdruck, Selbstoptimierungszwang und Gehorsamskultur. Echte Motivation kommt ohne Belohnungssysteme und Motivationsspritzen aus. Kinder tragen sie in sich - als Interesse an der Welt, als Kooperationsbereitschaft und als Selbstwirksamkeitsbedürfnis.

Motherhood is full of little highs: the smell of a newborn baby's head, the feeling of a small hand holding yours, the infectious sound of laughter, first words, first steps, the first day at school, endless tiny but significant hints of the person your child is to become. But motherhood is not without its lows either: tears and tantrums (your child's and your own), fears, self-doubt, sleepless nights, and that's not to mention the mum fails.
