I just purchased the revised version of my favorite childcare book from when I had my other kids (ages 6 and 9).Dr. Brazelton is still my favorite for his comprehensive, authoritative, yet non-judgmental, realistic advice.He has a tremendous understanding of the needs of children, in a way adults typically can't understand.In addition to addressing each stage of development in "Touchpoints", the section on special situations is extremely helpful!!!!I have loved every book he's ever written (Infants and Mothers is my other favorite) and find his advice invaluable and in the best interest of the child!He is a true child advocate and has the most calming voice to listen to....Product Description
All over the U.S. and in over twenty countries around the world, Touchpoints has become required reading for anxious parents of babies and small children. T. Berry Brazelton's great empathy for the universal concerns of parenthood, and honesty about the complex feelings it engenders, as well as his uncanny insight into the predictable leaps and regressions of early childhood, have comforted and supported families since its publication in 1992.
In this completely revised edition Dr. Brazelton introduces new information on physical, emotional, and behavioral development. He also addresses the new stresses on families and fears of children, with a fresh focus on the role of fathers and other caregivers. This updated volume also offers new insights on prematurity, sleep patterns, early communication, toilet training, co-sleeping, play and learning, SIDS, cognitive development and signs of developmental delay, childcare, asthma, a child's immune system, and safety. Dr. Sparrow, Brazelton's co-author on several other books, brings a child psychiatrist's insights into the many perennial childhood issues covered in this comprehensive book.
No parent should be without the reassurance and wisdom Touchpoints provides.
