PITTSBURGH, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stephanie Wijkstrom, LPC, Founder and CEO of the Counseling and Wellness Center of Pittsburgh, has released a heartwarming children's book titled Where Did You Come From?: A Story about Every Kind of Family. Inspired by her IVF journey, this children's book embraces family diversity while also engaging with themes that are common among families such as feelings of being different, navigating change, loss, and reshaping these themes into one's own meaningful tale.
匹茲堡,2024年10月1日/美通社/ - 史蒂芬尼·維克斯特羅姆(Stephanie Wijkstrom),LPC,匹茲堡諮詢與健康中心的創始人兼首席執行官,推出了一本溫馨的兒童書籍,名爲《你從哪裏來?:一個關於各種家庭的故事》。受到她試管嬰兒的經歷啓發,這本兒童書籍擁抱家庭多樣性,同時探討了家庭常見的主題,如感覺與衆不同,調整變化,失落,並將這些主題重塑爲自己有意義的故事。
Following the adventures of Stieg and Forest—named after Wijkstrom's twin sons—the story highlights the uniqueness of different families. As the characters discover the variety in their friends' family structures, children are encouraged to reflect on their own family origins and celebrate what makes each family special.
跟隨史蒂芬尼的雙胞胎兒子命名的Stieg和Forest的冒險,故事突出了不同家庭的獨特性。當角色發現他們朋友家庭結構的多樣性時,鼓勵孩子們思考自己的家庭起源,並慶祝讓每個家庭特別的地方。
"This book honors the dynamic families in our world," says Wijkstrom. "It's essential for children to understand and appreciate their own family structure alongside others. I aimed to create a narrative filled with love, curiosity, and peace."
維克斯特羅姆說:「這本書向我們世界中的多樣化家庭致敬。孩子們理解並欣賞自己的家庭結構以及其他家庭結構是至關重要的。我致力於創造一個充滿愛,好奇心和平靜的敘事。」
Where Did You Come From? provides a sensitive way to engage children in conversations about the many forms families can take—whether through adoption, IVF, single-parent families, LGBTQ families, or those who have experienced grief and loss. Books that celebrate family diversity and create understanding about the eternal quest to understand our family origin story, create resilience, prevent trauma, and foster empathy and understanding in the next generation.
《你從哪裏來?》以一種敏感的方式引導孩子們探討家庭可以擁有的多種形式 - 無論是通過領養,試管嬰兒,單親家庭,LGBTQ家庭,還是那些經歷悲傷和失落的家庭。這些書籍慶祝家庭多樣性,幫助人們了解永恒的尋找家庭起源的故事,培養抗挫折能力,預防創傷,並在下一代中培養同情心和理解。
