Keeping your cool in the face of ADHD?

• Tips and tricks from a mother with
experience of ADHD
• For parents of children aged between
6 and 12 years
• With numerous case studies drawn from
daily life with ADHD
Chaos is often the order of the day in the world of children with ADHD. They have difficulty in sitting
still, concentrating or controlling initial impulses. As a result, learning often takes great effort, and
conflicts are inevitable. However, parents of children with ADHD do not have an easy time of it either.
In addition to coping with the diagnosis, they are required to deal with possible medication and
manage family life at the same time, and frequently reach breaking point.
This self-help guide for parents provides key background knowledge and gives parents numerous tips
for dealing with life at home and at school. The author highlights how parents can not only protect
themselves, but also cope with family life with the necessary helping of humour and optimism.

• understanding children‘s drawings
• 4th edition in new layout
When children start drawing they are still unable to explain the view of the world in words. Does the
drawing of a child give us insight into the child‘s thoughts and feelings? Yes, it does, says the author
of this book – all you need to do is considering the cultural and family background. A drawing reflects
what a child thinks and feels. Even sorrow and emotional conflicts can be expressed in this way.
The author describes how children‘s drawings develop alongside with their increasing knowledge of
the world. Examples of pictures illustrate which encrypted messages can be enclosed within a child‘s
drawings.
Plenty of suggestions invite parents and educators to encourage the children‘s drawing talent by
using simple tasks and games.

When a child enters kindergarten, usually the anticipation is huge. The parents, however, also ask
themselves a lot of questions: “Will my child be looked after well there?”, “Will she / he feel at ease?”,
“How can I support my child?”
Nearly all children manage the unknown surroundings and the new group better if a trusted person
accompanies them during the first days: Whilst Carla only exchanges glances every now and again
with her mother, Miriam frequently sits in her father’s lap. Sebastian, however, attaches himself in-
stantly to a group of children who are playing Hide and Seek.
As different as the children are, the trusted person serves as a secure base for all of them. By means of
examples from her many years of practice, Anne Boller shows how children can be supported so that
they enter kindergarten well.

• How do you involve the parents?
By entering the kindergarten little girls know at the latest that they are girls and boys know that they
are boys. Until entering elementary school children have learned, what kind of rule expectation is con-
nected with their gender. This phase in childhood is very important for developing gender identity.
This is one reason why the kindergarten – beside the
family - plays an important role in the development of the child.
Kindergarten teachers are asked for creating an atmosphere where children can expand their know-
ledge about gender, rules and identity.

Mathematics is a subject that many children often find difficult. No weaknesses in numeracy
necessarily need to exist, often the children are only lacking the right feeling for numbers
and formulas. Frequently small misunderstandings lead to children failing or not getting any
further with arithmetic exercises. How can children be helped to escape these “learning
deadends”?
In this handbook, the author shows how problems with numeracy develop and how they can
be met. Parents learn how they can playfully convey a feeling for mathematics to their child.
With games, pirate stories and puzzles, children can discover mathematics themselves
without boring cramming and learning.

What is “mobbing”?
• What is going on in the classroom unnoti-
ced by the teachers?
• Outsider or loner?
• Do outsiders really suffer?
• Do family and friends provide the mobbing
victim with a feeling of security?
• How long does mobbing continue to have
an effect?
• How does a pupil become an outsider?
• Can mobbing spread throughout the
school?
• Are there limits to mobbing intervention?
In summer 2009, the revised version of “Bullying at school” was published. In this book, Karl E.
Dambach presents the typical behavioural patterns that are learnt at an early age in school. He offers
concrete guidelines on how teachers and parents can help the bullied pupils and makes suggestions
for improving social behaviour in the school.

Volatile Topic: Cyber-Bullying
• Pupils and teachers alike are becoming
victims
• Concepts and suggestions for taking
action in terms of prevention and in-
tervention
Cyber-Bullying via Internet, e-mails and mobile phones is a growing issue among children and teena-
gers. Teachers are becoming victims of electronic bullying as well. Legal and technical measures such
as deleting the respective online sites rarely help.
The author suggests introducing a feedback culture in class. That way pupils learn to give each other
feedback and to address teachers and fellow pupils alike with their criticism. They don’t have to blow
off their steam online at home any longer. Apart from supporting socially responsible actions through
teaching at school, cooperation with parents and coaching of bullying victims are also subject of this
book. Specific examples show how these ideas are put into effect.

Parents often feel helpless when their children behave in an extremely aggressive way. Should they
ignore their child‘s behaviour? How should they react? What is going to happen tomorrow if they
give in today? Is it always good to be consistent? Often parents are exposed to well-meant advice
such as: slapping the child has never done any harm.
The way how to deal with aggressive behaviour is as complex as the phenomenon itself. Depending
on the situation it is sometimes better to ignore the child. Sometimes, however, the child should bear
the consequences for his behaviour. At other points giving in could also be an appropriate reaction.
Therefore it is impossible to give general advice. For parents it is more important to get as much in-
formation about aggressive behaviour as possible. Besides they should know about the different ma-
nifestations of their child‘s aggressive behaviour and the reasons for it. The parents should be advised
on how to deal with the aggressive behaviour of a child and how to establish positive conditions in
the child‘s surroundings and in the family.

In places where people of different nationalities, cultures, and religions live together, children grow
up speaking two or more languages. The process of this language development is always exciting for
the parents and educationalists involved. How do these children deal with being bilingual? What sorts
of difficulties can crop up? How should parents react when the child switches languages? How can
parents, educators and teachers support these children?
In this book the author offers answers to these questions about multilingual education, as well as tips
for daily life. She acquaints the reader with the idea of being bilingual, and demystifies fundamental
notions. Explanations about the development of bilingual children are illustratively presented. From
this basis, Triarchi-Herrmann who herself has a rich treasure of experience as a language therapist and
mother of a grown bilingual child, gives practical tips on how parents can support the development
of their bilingual children.

When pre-school children don’t speak fluently it is not necessarily the beginnings of a stut-
ter. How can one distinguish between stammering that can arise during speech development
and an incipient stutter? When should parents seek help? How can parents encourage their
child’s speech development?
In this completely revised edition the authors emphasize the need for a positive environment for
speech development and present guidelines on one’s behaviour when dealing with children who
stutter. In addition to this they discuss the situation in kindergarten and school. In the appen-
dix the reader will find a glossary with explanations of the most important specialist terms. The
book is rounded off with suggestions for games and books for encouraging children.

Successful Education without Religion
• Arguments for values without religion

More than a third of all German-speaking people considers themselves not religious – number
increasing. This trend within society poses a crucial question: How can parents educate their children
without falling back on religious values and ideas?
The authors show a successful way of having a non-religious attitude towards education. Based on
findings from brain research and developmental psychology, they discuss how to deal with important
topics such as life crises, death and mourning. Parents get hands-on tips, e.g. on how to deal with re-
ligious and nonreligious festivals throughout the year, selecting suitable day-care centres as well as
how to deal with religious education and rituals at school. Helpful addresses and reading tips round
off this book.

• How does the conscience develop?
• From respect to the courage of one’s con-
victions – which values are important today?
• How do we transmit values?
Children should be able to assert themselves in kindergarten, at school and later in their ca-
reer. They should also be tolerant and empathetic. Parents would like to bring them up to be
questioning adults, but without belittling or disparaging other points of view. They should be
courageous, responsible, bold, helpful and peace-loving. Easier said than done.
Gerda Pighin offers parents and grandparents a guide for a modern approach to the teaching
of values, so that our children will be able to shape the world of tomorrow in a beneficial way.

What do we have to think about when foun-
ding an association?
• How can we integrate children and young
people?
• Which regulations do we have to mind?
• How can we work out a plan, how can it be
realized?
Suitable places for children are rare in urban areas, children are banned from the courtyards
and the pavements for a long time. It is therefor even more important to offer children and
young people suitable places. The adventure playground presents a natural, elemental space
for experience: working with wood or other materials, to learn the contact with animals, to
form the earth with your hands or with tools, to have fun with other people, to plan projects
and discuss your intentions. Johann R. Krauss uses his experience he has gathered for years at
the adventure playground and gives answers to basic questions which people would certainly
ask when planning an adventure playground.

tor of of two adventure playground and founder of the „Horker Spielkarre“ in Heilbronn.

velopment and how story-telling can help to solve conflicts. She gives many examples of how
you can work creatively with one child or a group of children. Besides she has collected plenty
of stories she invented together with children. You can profit from the examples and stories

“My child won’t sleep”. This lament is often heard from parents whose children are already of
preschool or school age. This new guide by Helena Harms explains why even older children
can still be struggling with sleeping problems. The author shows how parents can lovingly
and gently help their children achieve better sleep patterns, how to deal with their night-
mares, defuse bedtime arguments and how to quickly and surely help even little bundles of
energy to relax. In addition to important information about children’s sleeping behaviour and
biorhythms, numerous good-night stories which create a relaxing ritual offer the parents
incentive as well as reading suggestions and eliminate the child’s fear of going to sleep.

• How do the experiencing of music and the
hearing of the child develop?
• What effect do early rhythms have on us?
• How does music influence the development
of the personality?
While it is still in the womb, a baby experiences rhythms, musical dynamics and melodies
through the heartbeat of the mother, her voice and noises from the outer world.
The author describes exciting research results on the experiencing of music from pregnancy
until early childhood. For each stage of development he offers suggestions on how to ac-
company children playfully with music, how to stimulate and encourage them: for instance,
in shared rituals, with singing and games involving rhythm and movement. The parents will
learn one thing in particular: to listen carefully so as to be in tune with the individual rhythms
of their child.
The author
Prof. Dr. Hans-Helmut Decker-Voigt, director of the Institute for Music Therapy at the
College of Music & Theatre, Hamburg, free-lance writer.
