Allie Pleiter Bücher

Jede Mutter hat Angst. Selbst ausgesprochen furchtlose Zeitgenossinnen zittern beim Gedanken an ihre Kinder. Die Ängste sind zahllos: Halte ich das Baby so richtig? Bin ich schuld, wenn es nicht schläft? Wie fördere ich mein Kind richtig? Was, wenn es vom Rad stürzt und vors Auto fällt? Wie mache ich einen anständigen Menschen aus dieser Göre? Wie wird mein schüchterner Sohn in dieser Welt klar kommen? Allie Pleiter macht Mut, sich solchen Ängsten zu stellen und sie zu bewältigen. Sie empfiehlt dabei, sich mit drei Dingen ganz besonders auszustatten: mit Gottes Beistand, einem gesunden Realismus und viel Humor.
