Book Reviews of Your Baby and Child: From Birth to Age Five (Revised Edition)
Book Review: The only parenting book we needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm enormously grateful for this book. When I first picked it up 5 years ago, in theory I agreed with the style of parenting the author encourages; however, I had zero experience ever being around a parent who parented like this or a person who had been brought up like this - neither had my husband. For about the first year of kiddo's life, this book was constantly within reach and went on all trips with us. I read it well into the 2's and some of the 3's. Lately, at 5, he's been having some issues - I picked up this book again and voila!, rightaway is the answer of what we as parents had completely overlooked, and the book steered us immediately into the right direction. It's the only parenting book we ended up needing. I am SO thankful to the author for having written this book.
Summary of Your Baby and Child: From Birth to Age Five (Revised Edition)
Penelope Leach's Your Baby & Child is the most loved, trusted and comprehensive book in its field--with almost two million copies sold in America alone. Newsweek says 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 & Child is 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.
Penelope Leach's Your Baby & Child has been a beloved favorite for years. With this new, revised edition, Leach has updated her information and approach to reflect new findings in the field of child development, and to respond to the changing needs of today's families. Leach has utter respect for children and their parents; she explains development, child care, and parenting concerns clearly and without condescension.
Each developmental stage--newborn, settled baby, older baby, toddler, and young child--is discussed in terms of feeding, teeth and teething, growing, excreting, crying, sleeping, playing, and everyday care. For each stage, an additional set of appropriate topics is discussed, including muscle power, speech, child care, and appropriate toys. Colorful and expressive photos display infant, childhood, and toddler behavior. With her common-sense, child-positive approach, Leach carefully dispels negative parenting attitudes, and teaches readers how to stop, listen, and learn from their children. --Ericka Lutz
