 Introduction from the book

Young children are malleable; their future undetermined.  Right from the moment of conception their future lives are unknowingly predetermined by their parents and those assigned to look after them. Influences exerted at a young age go on to affect them throughout the whole of their lives.  With prudence and understanding, we can improve their lot in life and in society, giving them the confidence to be better people, both physically and psychologically. Alternatively, we can saddle them with untold emotional anxiety, concerns and disadvantage, piling on our own hang-ups in the same way our parents did to us. Which would you rather give your child?

Mothers are upset at how childbirth has become an industry built on statistics and drugs to combat our toxic environments.   Many new parents are finding illnesses and conditions stem from poor nutrition, stress and poor education regarding the poisons they absorb. Babies

The findings are the culmination of 15 years of treating families to resolve disorders stemming back to birth and childhood. According to holistic therapist Joy Wisdom, families are seeking alternatives to mainstream drugs and intrusive pregnancy practices.

With 24 chapters and 736 pages covering a comprehensive range of pregnancy and birth topics, self-help tips, key indicators of clinical information, case studies and alternative choices – this is more than a maternity book. The appendix includes non-invasive approaches for pregnancy and preventative health with new visions for parenting.

Joy Wisdom covers women’s and children’s healthcare aspects, nutrition and examines alternative choices for childbirth to avoid Post Natal Depression/Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and long-term health disorders. She highlights why some women find it a challenge to become pregnant and explains both the reasons and solutions. With pre-term births on the increase and the UK having the highest number in Europe, this book explains how numbers can be reduced safely and effectively.

In many walks of life emotional aspects of pregnancy and birth are not often talked about or explained.

Although mostly misunderstood in many fields, these emotional impacts are clearly viewed and described using numerous case studies from Joy’s many years of practice. With the premise that emotions create behaviour patterns that go into adolescence and adulthood, responsibility for many of our social and psychological problems in today’s society stem from birth. Key indicators show why we are seeing increased behavioural problems in our children, such as indifference, allergies, anger and frustration, ADHD and Autism and how we can help to stop this trend.

The book is full of tips and self help ideas we do not realise lay at our fingertips. This mother of two explains from her practical and clinical experience, how to not only care for oneself, but also become a better parent.

By levelling the preventative healthcare route and highlighting choices for a less clinical birth process and a healthy new life, Joy helps future generations of parents to bear children with reduced stress and anxiety, plus their respective emotional and physical impacts.

The book launched under Allonus in October 2010. It can be bought via this site, Amazon UK and most good book stores (ISBN 978-0-9566899-0-0). E book will be available shortly.
