        The Captain Nemo Stories

        by Ulrike Petermann

        Even at a primary school age, children can suffer from anxiety and stress with symptoms ranging from feeling tense to problems concentrating or sleeping. The stories of Captain Nemo help children relax and learn to let go of their anxiety and restlessness. The relaxation stories, written for children ages 5-12, can be either read aloud to the child or by the children themselves. The main character, Captain Nemo, invites the children to come along for his adventures on his submarine the Nautilus. The stories take the children to visit a coral forest, ride a giant tortoise, or explore the lost city of Atlantis. Through the stories, the children learn strategies to calm themselves and relax which they can then re-use in difficult situations in their daily lives. This widely successful book can be used at home, by teachers, social workers, school psychologists, child and adolescentpsychotherapists, and psychiatrists.

        You Can Always Come to Me

        by Stefanie Rietzler, Fabian Grolimund

        There are beautiful and difficult moments in the life of a little bear. Fortunately, his parents are always there for him! No matter whether the little bear gets frustrated with a difficult puzzle, is afraid of jumping into the swimming lake or gets angry because he has to accept a “no” from his parents, he is always experiencing the following: "My parents love me. I can trust them and feel their support." A secure bond between children and their caregivers is the foundation for a healthy self-esteem, a good handling of one's own feelings and resilience. Such a bond develops in many small everyday situations, whenever children experience that their parents see them, accept them and accompany them – even in difficult moments.

        How Parents Can Strengthen the Bond with Their Child and Make It Easier to Start Daycare

        by Fabienne Hesse (Author), Martina Zemp (Ed.)

        The decision to have their child looked after at a daycare center outside the family triggers uncertainty among many parents. They ask themselves if, how long and how often their child should be cared for at daycare and what they need to consider for a successful daycare attendance. This book is aimed at parents and other caregivers of children who are preparing for or already attending daycare. It is intended to support the entire family in strengthening the parent-child bond and make the transition to daycare easier. The book is divided into two parts: attachment and daycare entry. The attachment part highlights the concept of attachment and explains how to strengthen parental sensitivity to foster a secure child attachment. The daycare part describes the key elements of good daycare, how to prepare the child for daycare, what aspects should be considered during the settling-in, drop-off and pick-up periods as well as the cooperation with daycare staff.
