Parenting is something to be done with your baby and not to your baby. Based on Marie's own practice and the latest neuroscientific findings, as well as the latest psychoanalytic and attachment theories,The Book Your Baby Wants You to Read gives parents the tools to understand their baby's communications and suggests effective, practical and enjoyable strategies to enhance the parent-infant bonding experience. The more actively involved we are, right from the start, in our emotional relationship with our babies, by accepting them as a fully active participant in the parenting process, the more likely our dependent babies will grow into independent, well-balanced, successful adults. The shift in perspective that Marie advocates 'will be like putting on a pair of magic glasses and suddenly being able to see the space between us and our babies/children, a space that is filled up with an incredibly rich traffic of emotions and feelings. We are going to learn to improve the quality of this traffic, and this will leave a life-long positive imprint in our babies' minds, brains and bodies.' This is a book for every new parent who wants to understand their baby and build strong bonds from the moment the child is born.
