Five-year-olds are an unpredictable bunch. We were hurtling across Venice lagoon in a water taxi when suddenly the engine cut out with a loud bang. While I was scanning all directions trying to decide which offered the best chance of not drowning, my particular five-year-old was giggling and loving every second. The engine re-started, we shot off again, and I slouched back content that the next eight days crossing northern Italy were going to be absolutely fine. Now, I know Venice, Florence, Pisa and Bologna aren’t the first places that come to mind when you think of being adventurous, or goin...

When a loved one dies, be it unexpectedly or after a long illness, the bereaved typically faces a challenge. "First of all, it's important to grasp the reality of the death and the need to accept it," says Marei Rascher-Held, co-chairwomen of Germany's Federal Association for Grief Counselling (BVT). Many experts in the field of grief psychology no longer speak of "stages" of grief that you passively go through, but rather of active "tasks" of healthy grieving, particularly in cases of traumatic losses such as the death of a child or death due to an accident, natural disaster, homicide or suic...

Parents are constantly explaining things to their kids. It's not always easy though, particularly if a family member is struggling with a mental illness. Making a broken arm clear to them is one thing, depression, an anxiety disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder quite another. "Many parents shy away from it," says paediatric psychotherapist Anja Lorenz, because "there's no standard procedure" on how to do it. So they've got to use their imagination. Children, even young ones, usually sense when Mama, Papa, an uncle or grandmother isn't well, Lorenz says, adding that "parents are often sur...

It's something many parents are all too familiar with: Your young child is no longer a baby, and now has a bed and room of their own. Still, they'll patter into your bedroom at night and want to snuggle up with you. You may carry the child back to their room at first, but at some point the parental bed becomes the family bed. Older generations are often disapproving of this, saying it spoils the child and stunts their independence. Is this true? "No," says Barbara Weber-Eisenmann, a social educator, blogger, author - and mother based in Germany. She says that whether or not a child co-sleeps w...
