‘I’ll Do It Differently with My Child’

Talking to the parents (and in-laws) about parenting and going your own way

Go your own way, together
Many young parents today consciously bring up their children differently to the way they were brought up themselves. On issues such as needs orientation, the family bed, long-term breastfeeding or not giving out punishment, they face disbelief from their own parents. This causes stress and can lead to conflict between the generations.
In this book, Karin Bergstermann and Anna Hofer provide a remedy: they provide support for young parents to improve communication with their parents (and in-laws), reducing worries and expectations on both sides and strengthening mutual understanding. Using case histories and in-depth practical knowledge, they also help parents to come to terms with their own upbringing and to better understand their own inner child. Their goal is to encourage parents to find their own way and calmly bring up their children.
