Graviditet og forældreskab

Winner of the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry 2016There were many things that Hollie McNish didn't know before she was pregnant. How her family and friends would react; that Mr Whippy would be off the menu; how quickly ice can melt on a stomach. These were on top of the many other things she didn't know about babies: how to stand while holding one; how to do a poetry gig with your baby as a member of the audience; how drum'n'bass can make a great lullaby. And that's before you even start on toddlers: how to answer a question like 'is the world a jigsaw?'; dealing with a ten-hour train ride together; and how children can be caregivers too.But Hollie learned.And she's still learning, slowly. Nobody Told Me is a collection of poems and stories taken from Hollie's diaries; one person's thoughts on raising a child in modern Britain, of trying to become a parent in modern Britain, of sex, commercialism, feeding, gender and of finding secret places to scream once in a while.

From the progressive land in the North, this is the fact-based, feminist guide to parenting you have been waiting for.

Din kæreste er pludselig blevet dit barns mor, dine skjorter har gylp på skuldrene, og du er fra nu af én, der får askebægre i trylledej til jul og ved, hvad ordene lækagebarriere og brystpumpe betyder.Far på færde er en underholdende og personlig beretning om at blive far og langsomt lære at være det. Det er en brugsvejleding til dem, der ikke ved, hvad de går ind til og en trøst og syndsforladelse til alle, der står midt i det: Du er ikke alene.

"Livet med et udviklingshæmmet barn" beskriver de særlige vilkår og udfordringer, man har i en familie med et handicappet barn. Bogen dykker ned i de forskellige dele af barnets opvækst fra fødsel over ungdomsliv og til tidlig voksenalder. Hver alder har sine egne udfordringer, hvor der kan være brug for at høre andres erfaringer eller blive udfordret på egen tænkning. Bogen er derfor krydret med citater og udsagn fra forældre, der selv har børn med udviklingshæmning. Deres bidrag gør bogen nuanceret og levende.Bogen giver kortt sagt svar på nogle af de uendeligt mange spørgsmål, der melder sig, og som man ikke kan gå ét sted hen og få svar på. Nogle af disse spørgsmål er eksistentielle og personlige – andre af mere lavpraktisk art.Bogens kapitler veksler fra letforståelig formidling af faglige emner som kromosomer og syndromer, regler og rettigheder og beskrivelse af barnets funktionsniveau til nære emner som tilknytning, sorg, opdragelse, handicapidentitet og familiedynamik.Bogen indeholder desuden praktiske informationer om merudgifter, tabt arbejdsfortjeneste, hjælpemidler, relevante foreninger mv. Bogen kan også bruges som opslagsværk, hvis der er en bestemt problemstilling i livet med det udviklingshæmmede barn, der kræver særlig opmærksomhed.Bogen henvender sig især til forældre, bedsteforældre og andre pårørende til børn med udviklingshæmning samt til professionelle, der arbejder med området i kommunalt eller specialpædagogisk regi.

Et højt selvværd hos vores børn er et godt udgangspunkt for livsglæde og trivsel. Men hvordan kan vi bedst muligt styrke voresbørns selvværd? Vi forældre er vores børns vigtigste rollemodeller. Derfor må vi først og fremmest se på vores eget selvværd og på vores egen adfærd. Alt for mange mennesker er meget selvkritiske, og vi kommer nemt til at tro, at andre også har de samme negative tanker om os. Så prøver vi på forskellige måder at kompensere, for eksempel ved at blive meget perfektionistiske eller ved helt at lade være med at gøre noget, som vi egentlig gerne ville. Gennem opdragelsen kan vi lære vores børn at være kritiske over for det billede af virkeligheden, som vores - til tider forræderiske- tanker opstiller. Vi kan hjælpe vores børn til at være sig selv på godt og ondt og hvile i sig selv. Det er aldrig for sent at gå i gang! Bogen er delt i tre dele. Første del beskriver selvværd, hvordan det udvikles, og hvad det betyder for vores livskvalitet. Anden del er bogens praktiske del. Her gives konkrete forslag, vejledning og øvelser i, hvordan man i familien kan arbejde med børns tanker, tankemønstre og større selvforståelse. Bogens tredje del omhandler lavt selvværd, mistrivsel, og hvad man skal være opmærksom på, hvis man overvejer, om barnet har behov for professionel hjælp. Bogen henvender sig til forældre til børn og unge, andre voksne, der er tæt på, og til alle faggrupper, der arbejder med børn, unge og familier. LENE VÆSEL er autoriseret psykolog med egen praksis i Viborg, hvor hun arbejder med unge og voksne med stress, angst og depression.

Anders Kofoed fokuserer på faren og farens rolle. Bogen trækker på forskningsresultater fra hele verden, og der er masser af ny viden.Læs om faderrollen hos så forskellige dyr som klovnfisk, svaler, flagermus, præriestudsmus, chimpanser og gorillaer … men først og fremmest hos mennesker.Faderrollen er ikke en fikseret endelig og universel ting for vores art – der er vidt forskellige faderroller i forskellige samfund. Hos Aka-folket, et nomadefolk i Centralafrika, har faderen mere fysisk kontakt med barnet end moderen, og Aka-fædrene bruger fem gange så meget tid sammen med dem, som fædrene i de fleste andre menneskesamfund.Hos Ache-folket, et nomadefolk i Sydamerika, har faderen næsten ingen kontakt med små børn. Faren har først en rolle, når sønnerne skal lære at jage.I det moderne samfund kan vi i stort omfang selv vælge hvilken faderrolle, vi vil have.Anders Kofoed kalder til kamp for farens rolle som omsorgsperson for børnene. Naturen har fremavlet mænd til at være børnepassere, forsørgere, lærere og legeonkler, og de skal insistere på at tage det ansvar. ’Den nødvendige far’ er fuld af informationer og gode råd, der rækker fra graviditet til teenagebørn og går helt op til bedstefarrollen. Bogen kommer omkring emner som søvn, sprogudvikling, leg og opdragelse, og i modsætning til langt de fleste bøger om disse emner, fokuseres der på farens rolle.Anders Kofoed trækker på den nyeste forskning og inddrager også sine egne erfaringer, når han argumenterer for, at det er afgørende vigtigt, at faren påtager sig omsorgsansvar.
