The Tao of Books Bargains Parenting

Frederick Leboyer

Leboyer puts us in touch with the ordeal infants often suffer at birth - bright lights, loud voices, slaps, premature cutting of the umbilical cord - which produces in the disorientated newborn screams of anguish. He sees this harsh introduction to life outside the womb as the root of much human aggression and fear of death. He shows how natural procedures encourage the child to be an adventurer, ready to explore the rich variety of life.

Harville Hendrix

Giving the Love that Heals presents a revolutionary vision of parenting that will transform your parent-child relationships. Parenthood is the most difficult, exciting and rewarding experience in the world. But nobody teaches us how to do it. Instead we unconsciously re-enact the way we were parented ourselves. And where we tend to have difficulties in our parenting is where our own parents had problems when we were children. Instead of responding to what or children require, we respond to our unmet needs - and as a result the needs of our child go unmet. Giving the Love that Heals shows you how to improve your parenting skills. It will help you heal past wounds from your own upbringing and stop yourself inflicting the same wounds on your children.

THE VITAL TOUCH: How Intimate Contact with Your Baby Leads to Happier, Healthier Development Ref: RWF0523

Sharon Heller

Why do American babies rank among the least held on earth? Throughout human evolution, b abies have enjoyed intimate physical contact with their mothers. In cultures around the world, parents' arm are used to comfort their babies, from holding and carrying them to rocking them to sleep.In this probing and insightful book, psychologist Sharon Heller uses evolutionary psychology to examine why social pressures and a desire for elf-sufficiency have caused Americans to distance ourselves physically from our children. Our overreliance on infant carriers, strollers, swings, and cribs as parenting substitutes often prevents us from attaining physical closeness with our children, causing increased fussiness in infants and creating conflict for the mothers. Drawing from an inspiring array of cultural and anthropological sources, The Cital Touch explores all the psychological, physiological, and sensory benefits that occur when parent and baby are in touch - and what happens when they're not - and shows us how we can provide a soothing and nurturing environment in which our children will thrive. Here is a book that affirms the value of touch as the most essential medium through which we can communicate and bond with our babies.
