SynopsisPenelope Leach'sYour Baby & Childis the most loved, trusted and comprehensive book in its field--with almost two million copies sold in America alone.Newsweeksays that it is not only one of the best parenting books, but also "by far the most pleasurable to read." This new version, completely rewritten for a new generation, encompasses the latest research and thinking on child development and learning, and reflects the realities of today's changing lifestyles and new approaches to parenting. Penelope Leach's authoritative and practical style will reassure, encourage, inform and inspire every parent-to-be and new parent.Your Baby & Childis the baby book that responds fully to every parent's deepest concerns about the psychological and emotional as well as physical well-being of his or her children. Dr. Leach describes--in easy-to-follow stages, from birth through starting school--what is happening to your child, what he or she is doing, experiencing and feeling. She tackles the questions parents often ask and the ones they dare not. Whether your concern is a new baby's wakefulness, a toddler's tantrums, a preschool child's shyness, aggression or nightmares, or how to time your return to work, choose day care or tell a child about a new baby or an impending divorce, the information you need to make your own decisions is right here.
This book, by a famous child care author was my bible when I was expecting our daughter and for the first year or so.
The information is excellent and the point of view is baby centered.
Good book with lots of info and a pretty good index. Like that author has a PhD in psychology. I think it's a good source, but wouldn't use this as my only source; I'd want another source that's more up-to-date.
