Most people who've read it think it's a work of fiction from a guy with a fantastic imagination, but actually it's not fiction at all. I tell those people that it's "95% truth with 5% embellishment for humor's sake." This autobiography covers more than 50 years, from the time I was four and was run over by a car and dragged along a Chicago street, to the present day. If there had to be a central theme, it would be the story of growing up in a dysfunctional family with nine children during the 50s and 60s.

So können sowohl die älteren als auch die jüngeren Kinder in ihrer Kita-Zeit optimal unterstützt werden.

Geschwisterbeziehungen sind in der Regel die längsten Bindungen, die ein Mensch in seinem Leben hat. Sie stellen in dieser Gesellschaft, wo Wohnortswechsel, Partnerwechsel und Berufswechsel an der Tagesordnung sind, eine selten gewordene Kontinuität dar. Grund genug, um diesem Beziehungsgeflecht mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken. In der psychoanalytischen Forschung waren Geschwister lange Zeit jedoch nur von Interesse, wenn ihre Beziehung pathologischen Charakter hatte.

Wenn Familienzuwachs ins Haus steht, tauchen viele Fragen auf, die die Eltern beim ersten Kind nicht hatten.

Nathalie Klüver, Bloggerin und Mutter von drei Kindern, kennt diese Unsicherheiten und Herausforderungen, beiden Kindern gerecht zu werden und trotzdem im Alltag nicht unterzugehen, gut. Unterhaltsam und augenzwinkernd begleitet sie Sie durch die ersten Jahre.

Here, the twins themselves are the stars.
