ISBN: 9788416773367; 841677336X
Summary: "Es en la relación con nuestros hermanos donde desarrollamos nuestras técnicas de competencia, socialización y posicionamiento frente a los otros. Es en este vínculo que las podemos mejorar y mantenerlas siempre a mano, listas para ser activadas y utilizadas en el mundo exterior. Nadie nace sabiendo vincularse con el otro, se aprende en el hogar a través del ejemplo que los adultos brindan a los pequeños. Y la interacción que se establece con los hermanos está estrechamente vinculada a la relación que mantienen éstos con sus padres. Por esto es necesario establecer vínculos sanos donde se privilegie la expresión de los afectos y la cooperación entre hermanos. Este libro está destinado a todos los padres que se encuentran en el proceso de crianza de sus hijos, para que puedan afrontar las dificultades de cada vínculo familiar, pero también, está orientado a las personas adultas, para que puedan entender cómo las relaciones con sus hermanos influyeron en sus vidas."--Casadellibro. A "normal family"" used to consist of a mother, a father, and their children. These days, every family is different: grandparents raising grandchildren, adoption, fertilization methods, two men or two women having children. This book tells the stories of different children dealing with their problems.

Language: German
2017.
16 p. : col. ill. cm.
ISBN: 3745047001 ; 9783745047004
Summary: Kinder bringen uns die Wunder und Werte dieser Welt wieder nah und machen uns die elementarsten Werte täglich bewusst - Liebe und Geborgenheit. Kinder wollen die Welt um sich herum begreifen und wissen, wo sie herkommen und wohin sie gehören. Dieses Buch hat sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, diese Geschichte kindgerecht, aber vor allem barriere- und vorurteilsfrei zu vermitteln. Unser Buch unterstützt alle Eltern - gleich welcher sexuellen Orientierung oder Familienkonstellation - ihren Kindern bereits im Kleinkindalter verständlich zu machen, wie sie entstanden sind. Wir wollen, dass die Kinder unserer Gegenwart und Zukunft verstehen, dass es viele Möglichkeiten und Wege gibt, zu einer Familie zu werden und das die Liebe das Kriterium für die Entstehung ist. Die Idee zu diesem Buch ist durch die Geschichte von Maggie Schwarz und ihrem Sohn entstanden, der durch künstliche Befruchtung mit Samenspende in ihre Welt trat (Buchempfehlung: Maggie Schwarz "Wunschkind - Wie sich eine Singlefrau ihren größten Wunsch erfüllt)". Um die eigene Geschichte ganz individuell erzählen zu können, finden sich in diesem Buch leere Seiten, die zur freien Gestaltung der eigenen Familiengeschichte dienen. Hier kann man sich kreativ austoben und seine persönliche Geschichte zu Papier bringen, um ganz individuell über die Entstehungsgeschichte des Kindes aufzuklären.
