The handbook on Jesper Juul's ideas. Parents often have to make important decisions for their family life even before the birth of their child, without really knowing what to expect. This book shows how Jesper Juul's ideas on parenting can be practically implemented. It provides an overview of all the important topics and central questions parents face—from the early years to puberty. Current findings from attachment research, psychology, and neuroscience are summarized and presented clearly. For each topic, there are concrete tips, examples, and dialogues on how to apply theoretical knowledge in family life. In-depth questions allow couples during this challenging initial period to stay connected with each other and pay attention to their own needs.
