Welcome The Little One: Jubiläumsedition Zum 102. Todesjahr Von Karl May (Correct Times)
by Elsie GuyThe pending arrival of a baby is a wonderful time! It doesn't matter what the circumstances, when a new baby comes into the world, it is a true miracle. As is expected, much of the focus in the delivery room is on the woman. After all, she is the one who is enduring the pain of childbirth. What many people don?t consider is that the men in the delivery room have their own issues as well. Years ago, men weren't allowed in the delivery room. Guys were relegated to the waiting room, left to pace a hole in the floor as they waited for their offspring to be born. Today, however, there has been an enormous shift in tradition, with 90 per cent of dads now taking a hands-on approach in the birthing process. The journey begins not only with conception but with choosing the nursery furniture, picking out names, and taking Lamaze classes. Even with the best of training, guys may still feel out of place when attending the birth of a child. With the advent of birthing rooms taking the place of the sterile operating room, grandparents, uncles, friends, and even siblings are invited into the birth experience. Obviously you cannot know exactly what it feels like to carry and birth a newborn; however, you can learn as much as possible about all the stages of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and newborn bonding. Perhaps once you understand the prenatal class basics you might start having doubts about how you will be able to handle it all. Try to set those uncomfortable thoughts aside. Studies show that men are more likely to get and stay involved in the care and nurturing of their children if they are present at the births. So what's a guy to do? If you're the father to be, you have probably heard the horror stories. You're called every name in the book. You're blamed for everything from inflation to the price of gas to getting your gal in the situation she's in. It's normal. It's probably going to happen. But how do you deal with it? That's hard to say. But the birthing experience is still something every guy can ? well, not exactly enjoy, but, at the very least, participate in. It all begins with the onset of labor. The pains begin. She screams with each contraction. What do you do? At this point, running to the store for a late night craving is out of the question. Right now, you're expected to be the supportive one. But you?re confused and aren?t sure exactly what to do. It can be difficult watching someone you love in pain and childbirth IS PAINFUL! It's like a pain you, as a man, can never know. Research shows that when a woman has a supportive birth partner, this reduces her need for pain-killing drugs and increases her satisfaction with the birth experience. This also can reduce her stresses and worries about being a mother and make her more confident after the baby is born. Having a familiar face can be very reassuring. There are many things you can do to help the momma to be along the way to becoming a full-fledged mother. You may be confused, especially when things start getting a little frantic and they will! With the help of this book, you'll be much more prepared for the birthing experience. In these pages, you?ll be better prepared to help with back labor, understanding what happens in the birthing room, easing the pain of mom, and dealing with your own feelings of helplessness. It can be a daunting and scary experience, but you CAN get through it just like SHE can! Enjoy your ebok "Welcome the little one (for men)"!
Welcome to Fatherhood.: Real Talk.
by Dave TakisakiFatherhood is a lifelong journey that twists and turns, has its ups and downs, like a long country road. Nothing quite prepares you for the start of the fatherhood journey, there is no map. However, we can learn from other who have traveled down that same unpredictable road. The book “Welcome to Fatherhood. Real Talk.” is an introduction to fatherhood for new dads who are in the whirlwind of fatherhood. The author taps into his past as a new father and unearths the valuable lessons every new dad should know. The book is designed to be real and raw; including funny stories from the author and invaluable scripture from the Bible. Excerpt“Having children is a very sanctifying and humbling process and there will be many laughs, tears, and hair pulling moments throughout the years. But that is how memories are made, through the ups and downs in life. We wouldn’t savor the sweet times of gathering around a campfire roasting mallows with your kids without the trying times of raising them up from newborns. Just like a sports team and the process they have to undergo, they can’t just step on to a field against another great team and expect to win. They must go through the blood, sweat and tears of practice and have the patience and belief that the process will work.”Fathers have a major responsibility in life, just as Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it” (ESV). Not only are we called to husbands and dads, we are also called to be ministers to our children and speaking truth into their life. The book “Welcome to Fatherhood. Real Talk.” will walk through the many different hats a father must wear and the many different plates he must keep spinning. This book will also give new fathers a few practical concepts, or “life hacks”, to help make life just a little bit easier

Welcome to the Grief Club: Because You Don't Have to Go Through It Alone
by Janine KwohWelcome to the club that no one ever wants to join but so many of us end up needing. We&’re so sorry that you&’re here. Based on her own experience with grief—the author&’s partner died when both were in their late twenties—and those of other Grief Club members, Janine Kwoh uses brief writings, illustrations, and creative diagrams to explore the wide range of emotions and experiences that grief can encompass. For anyone who has lost a loved one or who is close to someone who is grieving, Welcome to the Grief Club is a book of solace, connection, hope, and reassurance. It addresses with empathy and honesty the aspects of grief that so many of us experience but that aren&’t widely discussed: the variety and volatility of emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, joy; the physical symptoms of grief; and how grief isn&’t linear, but it does change and soften over time. It affirms that there is truly no right or wrong way to grieve and assures us that the things we feel that surprise us or seem strange are often common and always valid. Humor helps us to survive, and the book uses a lighthearted approach to cover powerful topics, like supremely unhelpful things that people say to those who are grieving, grief trigger bingo, and everyday acts of resilience. This book is a companion that says, I see you and you are not alone, from one grieving person to another. It is a gentle reminder to give yourself permission to grieve for as long as—and in whichever ways—you need.

The Well-Gardened Mind: The Restorative Power of Nature
by Sue Stuart-SmithA distinguished psychiatrist and avid gardener offers an inspiring and consoling work about the healing effects of gardening and its ability to decrease stress and foster mental well-being in our everyday lives.The garden is often seen as a refuge, a place to forget worldly cares, removed from the &“real&” life that lies outside. But when we get our hands in the earth we connect with the cycle of life in nature through which destruction and decay are followed by regrowth and renewal. Gardening is one of the quintessential nurturing activities and yet we understand so little about it. The Well-Gardened Mind provides a new perspective on the power of gardening to change people&’s lives. Here, Sue Stuart-Smith investigates the many ways in which mind and garden can interact and explores how the process of tending a plot can be a way of sustaining an innermost self. Stuart-Smith&’s own love of gardening developed as she studied to become a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. From her grandfather&’s return from World War I to Freud&’s obsession with flowers to case histories with her own patients to progressive gardening programs in such places as Rikers Island prison in New York City, Stuart-Smith weaves thoughtful yet powerful examples to argue that gardening is much more important to our cognition than we think. Recent research is showing how green nature has direct antidepressant effects on humans. Essential and pragmatic, The Well-Gardened Mind is a book for gardeners and the perfect read for people seeking healthier mental lives.
