Might pregnancy form women just as much as children? When we talk about pregnancy, we too often end up talking clinically and sentimentally. Pregnancy is medical details and a whirl of emotions. It is vitamins and baby showers and feelings. But it is so much more. In Showing, Agnes Howard takes us beyond clinical reductionism and fluffy sentimentality to show us how to take pregnancy seriously as hard but important work. It is not just a bodily process, she argues, but an active work of care--one that underscores the generosity and mutual dependence we all require in order to live. It is an act of "radical hospitality" that shows us all what it means to be human. Howard delves into prenatal care literature from the Christian tradition to find images and vocabulary that elevate and honor pregnancy--not only for the benefit of expectant parents, but also their communities and the church. Taking pregnancy seriously does not entail viewing it as a woman's only role or romanticizing it. Instead, Showing maintains that thinking well about pregnancy can help not only childbearing women but all who surround them understand how to live together more faithfully.

Why? Because they understand that their actions will determine whether or not they succeed. A child creating a vision also builds self-confidence and resilience.

Okay, you're pregnant... and now? Did they make you believe it will all be easy, pink, shiny, and gorgeous? Bullshit. The truth is, it won't be easy. You will have to deal with the changes in your body, the morning sickness, the (unsolicited) advice from everyone around you, not to mention the strain of carrying a weight in your belly for nine months. This is going to be a difficult period, but it will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience. Do you feel truly prepared to face this trip? If you are going through this beautiful but demanding period of your life and you want to prepare yourself psychologically in the right way, then this guide is for you. This book is a valuable guide for expectant moms (and their partners!) who aren't looking for some counsel, but sincere words from those who have already gone through this journey. Anne Mary will offer you a journey through emotions not only of childbirth, but of the nine months leading up to the happy event. "It is necessary to live the emotions," she says, "to welcome them with joy and positivity, even when we see some clouds on the horizon". Anne Mary explains that the idea of writing this book stems from a desire to put her experience as a Doula and her passion for writing at the service of people who are in a delicate moment in their life. She wanted to talk about pregnancy in an alternative way and far from rhetoric. Here's everything you need to know to prepare for the healthiest possible pregnancy and the childbirth of your healthy baby. The author gives you practical tips on how to get your body into the best baby-making shape, which lifestyle habits are better to quit, and what are your physical and emotional transformations in these nine months.
Some children just haven't read the parenting books. The harder you try, the worse it gets.There's a hidden contract at the heart of parenting: that if parents just get it right, their children can be made to do what they want. Manuals explain how to make it very clear to your children what you want them to do ¿ and how to respond when they don't cooperate, using rewards and consequences like Time Out, the Naughty Step, or grounding and withdrawing screen privileges. But every so often, along comes a child who hasn't signed the contract. They don't buy in. When they are put on the Naughty Step, they refuse point blank to stay there. Promises of stickers and rewards get you nowhere at all. Take their iPad away and they say, 'Fine, but I'm still not doing that'. These are the children who rip up the rule book. The firmer the boundaries, the worse their behaviour becomes. Things can go downhill fast, leaving parents floundering.This down-to-earth, illustrated guide is for parents who need something different. It's for those who are fighting battles where they didn't know battles could be fought. It's for those who suspect that what they are doing isn't helping - but they don't know what else to do. It's for families who need a better way to live and who want their children (and themselves) to thrive.Dr Naomi Fisher is a clinical psychologist who specialises in trauma, autism and alternative education.
