The World Standard for Today’s Parenting Generation

Children today have the best chance of growing up healthy. Yet it seems more complicated than ever to accompany them through this process. How do you stay in control when your baby is always crying and the web is full of contradictory recommendations? How do you distinguish serious advice from fleeting trends? What helps with illnesses? Experienced pediatrician and renowned professor of pediatrics Jörg Dötsch and longtime ZEIT educational journalist Johanna Schoener have written a modern medical standard on the first ten years of life. Along current scientific findings, they clarify nutrition, sleep, media consumption and central developmental issues. They know: Everyday family life today means juggling jobs and overburdened daycare centers, school and leisure time stress, high internal demands and external crises. It's not easy to focus on what's important. 'Growing Up' separates the important from the unimportant. It shows how parents can strengthen their children so that they can find their own individual path, and gives confidence for the future together.
