Demeter Press Chasing Rainbows: Exploring Gender Fluid
Book SynopsisFeminist parenting creates unique challenges. As women experience the unique powerlessness of motherhood, they also hold the uncomfortable power of acting as advocates for and as agents of socialization and social control over their children. Fathers may feel the desire for feminist parenting whilst experiencing a backlash and a lack of sup- port, while some parents may attempt to resist the binaries of mothering and fathering in their feminist parenting journey. Feminist parents may attempt to resist gender binaries; they may submit to them while attempting to foster critical dialogue; they may struggle with the display of their own femininity and masculinity or, for some, its perceived lack. This book attempts to cast a lens on the messy and convoluted ways that feminist parents approach parenting their children in gender aware and gender fluid ways.

Demeter Press Black Motherhood(s) Contours, Contexts and
Book SynopsisThis book considers Black Motherhood through multiple and global lenses to engage the reader in an expanded reflection and to prompt further discourse on the intersection of race and gender within the construct of motherhood among Black women. With an aim to extend traditional treatments of Black motherhood that are often centered on a subordinated and struggling perspective, these essays address some of the hegemonic reality while also exploring nuance in experiences, less explored areas of subjugation, as well as pathways of resistance and resilience in spite of it. Largely focusing within domains such as narrative, identity, spirituality and sexuality, the book deftly explores black motherhood by incorporating varied arenas for discussion including: literary analysis, expressive arts, historical fiction, the African Diaspora, reproductive health, religion and social ecology.

Parallax Press Parenting in the Present Moment: How to Stay
Book SynopsisThis generation of parents is overwhelmed with parenting advice; Carla Naumburg sets out to remind them that they have everything they need to raise healthy, happy children. Mindful parenting is about paying attention to what is going on with your children and yourself without judging it or freaking out about it or thinking everyone, including yourself and your child, should be doing something differently. In Parenting in the Present Moment, Naumburg shares what truly matters in parenting—connecting with children in ways that are meaningful to them and you, staying grounded amidst the craziness of parenting, and staying present for whatever life throws your way.With reassuring, compassionate storytelling, she weaves the most current theories—about healthy relationships, compassionate self-care, and mindfulness—throughout vignettes of her own chaotic childhood and parental struggles. She shows how mindfulness creates a solid foundation for any style of parenting, regardless of your cultural background, socio-economic status, or family structure. She also introduces the STAY model for tough times: Stop whatever it is you’re doing; Take a Breath; Attune to you thoughts and those of your child; and Yield to what is happening so you can respond from a place of connection and compassion. Parenting is an ongoing journey that constantly challenges every parent. Parenting in the Present Moment will help each family find its own way.

Postuliert wird eine Kohärenz zwischen einem im Wandel befindlichen jÃ"dischen Eherecht im ersten nachchristlichen Jahrhundert und der beginnenden Ausbildung einer neuartig christlichen Sicht auf das Gebilde Familie. Der im jÃ"dischen Recht schwindende Rechtsschutz fÃ"r ersteheliche Kinder in Patchworkfamilien gehörte zum konkreten Erfahrungshorizont der ersten Christen und kann mit verantwortlich zeichnen fÃ"r die reaktionäre Herausbildung einer konservativ-christlichen Scheidungsmoral.

Muchas madres me preguntáis cómo me organizo con mis ocho hijos si a vosotras os cuesta teniendo menos. Durante mucho tiempo fui un desastre, una madre que se enfadaba, gritaba y no disfrutaba de sus hijos. Un día me pregunté a mí misma: ¿Cómo quieres que te recuerden tus hijos? Y todo cambió.

For a long time, I was a disaster, a mother who got angry, yelled, and didn’t enjoy her kids. One day I asked myself: how do you want your children to remember you? And everything changed. I learned to get organized and to enjoy my family and motherhood.In this book, I share with you all the tools that help me in my day-to-day life: how to maintain a good partner relationship that isn’t affected by the arrival of children, how to educate children regarding the Internet and technology, my pre- and post-partum tricks, the importance of attitude, how to maintain organization at home, how I organize meals, and how I raise my children so that they find the best in themselves.When you become a mother, in the moment your children are born, you start to live two lives: yours and theirs. You are linked in such a way that you live for two, or three, or four, or however many you have. It is so strong and so real that it is difficult to put it into words.”
