Tip of the Month:

How to make your child sleep
through the night?

If children are older you might 
prefer them to sleep in a room of their own or at least at a different time.

How to achive that?

All children wake up during the night. If your child knows how to fall asleep by himself/herself,  it won't bother you.

What do you have to do?

Let your child start to fall asleep alone, after reading a story or playing some musik or sining a song. A fixed ritual can help a lot. 
 
 

International:

Germany goes mainstream 

After the Netherlands have legalized same sex marriage the green party has now sucessfully introduced a law that enables 
a legal same gender partnership.
This allows for the "kleine Sorgerecht" a limited custody
in its essence, and a permission to attain visa for binational 
couples similar that for heterosexual ones. 

Britain, the Scandinavian countries and  France have already  similar laws.
