Fatherhood Parenting

Väter, wie Kinder sie brauchen. Weil Vater sein Glück und Herausforderung zugleich bedeutet, ist es umso hilfreicher, tragfähige Werte zu entwickeln, den eigenen Perfektionismus auf den Prüfstand zu stellen und Beziehungen auf Augenhöhe zu etablieren – und dabei sich selbst nicht zu vergessen. Carsten Vonnoh bietet Alternativen zu herkömmlichen Erziehungsmustern, kreative Ideen und praktische Tipps, die das Zusammenleben in der Familie leichter und schöner machen. Damit es Vätern gut geht und sie die bestmögliche Basis für die Entwicklung ihrer Kinder legen können.

When my son Sean was born with special needs, his mother and I were told he would never be “normal” and we mourned for the life we had imagined for him. We thought we would have to be his teacher and protector, more so than the typical child. However, we quickly learned that lessons can come from the most unlikely places and that our world would be changed for the better in ways we could have never envisioned. . . all because of Sean. Before he died on Father’s Day 2019, Sean taught me valuable life lessons. He taught me how to live like Sean, and these lessons are his legacy.

He spent over three decades proudly serving his country. But his greatest lessons came from one unique bond. For Dr. Burl Randolph, Jr., leadership began at home as a young boy. Though his father was a man of few words, he was molded by his parents' actions for a future filled with achievement. And when the decorated military officer faced his own retirement, he recalled the profound message his dad imparted many years before: "A man ought to always stay busy."

After separation and divorce, the greatest misconception some end up believing is that raising a child is primarily a mother’s responsibility. While the role of the mother is undoubtedly essential, a father disregarding his part in their children’s lives is extremely unfair, incorrect, and irresponsible. On the other hand, what is to be done when the parents split up? How is a father to nurture his children all by himself? Glen Warren’s I Am a Father Forever holds the answer to all these questions, and much more.

Most child advocates agree that fatherlessness goes beyond the boundaries of race and socio-economic status - and is the root of almost every social ill faced by children in our society. Children from fatherless homes are more likely to live in poverty, become involved in drugs, alcohol abuse, and crime, drop out of school, and suffer from health and emotional problems. Without any real, lasting intervention, this cycle continues and expands from generation to generation - unless an individual does what it takes to stop it. Marvin Charles is living proof that this is possible.

A devastating car accident upends, disrupts, and derails a seemingly ordinary family. In the wake of devastation is where recovery and, ultimately, redemption are found.

He reveals how God’s love and grace appear not necessarily when we want them, but certainly when we need them.

In 2003, already an older father, National Book Award–winning novelist Tim O’Brien resolved to give his young sons what he wished his own father had given to him—a few scraps of paper signed “Love, Dad.” Maybe a word of advice. Maybe a sentence or two about some long-ago Christmas Eve. Maybe some scattered glimpses of their rapidly aging father, a man they might never really know. For the next fifteen years, the author talked to his sons on paper, as if they were adults, imagining what they might want to hear from a father who was no longer among the living.

"Gli uomini non parlano mai tra loro, nemmeno quando diventano padri e le loro emozioni li travolgono lasciandoli come mosconi alla deriva. Anche i miei amici maschi, diventati papà molti anni prima di me, sono stati omertosi. Hanno lesinato con le descrizioni e con le esperienze personali. Hanno detto solo 'Tu di' sempre sì' oppure 'Verso i due anni ricominci a vivere', ma hanno omesso i particolari che sono tutto. Sarò un padre nuovo, mi sono detto, un padre presente, una semi-Madre...

Johnny is 19. He likes music, art and going to the beach. He is also autistic - in his case that means he will probably never get a job, never have a girlfriend, never leave home. And over the last 19 years this is what his father, TV producer and comedy writer Henry Normal and his wife Angela have been trying to come to terms with. This is a book for anyone whose life has been touched by autism - it's about the hope, the despair, and the messy, honest sometimes comical day-to-day world of autism, as well as a wonderful, warm book about the unconditional, unconventional love between a father, a mother and a son.

Growing up on the Cambridgeshire Fens, Will Millard never felt more at home than when he was out with his granddad on the riverbank whiling away the day catching fish.

Lina was a precocious toddler - charming, chatty, joyful. At the age of three, in the aftermath of her second MMR vaccine, first came a seizure, and then, to her parents’ horror, the loss of Lina’s ability to play, use language, and control her impulses. Over the next few years they continued to lose Lina. She communicated her acute discomfort by biting, screaming, hitting, laughing maniacally, and throwing violent tantrums.
