Book description
When a child is born parents feel on top of the world, but stress
and exhaustion can soon take over, leaving nerves frayed. In this
concise, practical book Christiane Kutik highlights twelve simple
steps for bringing some peace, composure and enjoyment back into
everyday family life. She bases her approach on providing a solid
underlying structure to family life, with clear roles, rules, routine
and respect. She goes on to show how your family can grow together
through incorporating enjoyable rituals, being responsive to your
children, giving them the support they need and the space to develop
their own abilities. She discusses ways to introduce moments of calm
and spiritual connection into everyday life. She also stresses the
importance of parents trying to make a little time for themselves to
reflect on life and relax. This is a book written specifically for
parents with no time and little energy -- short, easy-to-absorb and
easy-to-implement steps to quickly improve family life.
