Book Review: BEST GIFT for new parents or parents-to-be
Summary: 5 Stars
As I birth and postpartum doula I am always looking for new resources for my clients. After reading this brief but incredibly informative little book - it will become my #1 pick. In such a short amount of pages, this book packs in information compiled from the latest research in psychology and communication with babies, but in a easy to read and understandable language. Parents who may already be overwhelmed can rest assured that the methods are broken down into siimple steps for understanding and bonding with their babies. These skills can easily spill over into adulthood and dealing with relationships in general. This could easily have a huge impact on the future of our children everywhere. I will be gifting this little gem to my clients and spreading the word.
Thank you Carrie and Debby!!

Summary of CALMS A Guide to Soothing Your Baby
Honest, short, sweet and scientific, CALMS A Guide to Soothing Your Baby offers parents and professionals a new view of babies and a tool kit for creating family harmony and parent-child connection. Written with compassion and insight into the world of new babies and new parents, this book provides the practical tools parents need to help their babies settle when they are upset and to create deep healthy bonds with their children right from the start. The title CALMS is an acronym standing for an indispensable 5-step process which parents can use to maintain composure during the inevitable stresses and strains encountered in the first weeks of parenting after the birth. The secret method is disclosed in Part One. These steps make good sense and good psychology. The novelty and simplicity of CALMS may startle you. Part two of the book provides an overview of the latest research coming out of the field of prenatal and perinatal psychology and offers new insight into early infant development. Three real life examples of how families are using this method are presented in part three. Finally, part four is an addendum chock full of early parenting resources. This book is the "must have reference" for any new parent, parent-to-be or person working with families during the early years of life. It is the perfect gift for your new client welcome bag, and doulas, midwives, nurses and hospitals are already ordering by the hundreds! This essential guide is a great choice for parenting classes and it makes the perfect shower gift. "I received CALMS just after the birth of my fourth baby and the information has proved invaluable to our whole family. We find ourselves applying the techniques not just for our infant, but for our nine, seven and four year-olds as well. It turns out that what babies want is what we all want; compassion, understanding and patience. Every family new or not should have CALMS readily available." Bernadette, mother of fourParenting Books
