The attachment connection - Ruth P. Newton

Despite what some current child-development
fads may claim, a child's future cognitive ability depends more on the
emotional attunement between the parent and child than it does on
cognitive stimulation, such as instructional flashcards or videos.
Secure attachment gives kids a head start on development; they grow into
well-adjusted, emotionally and psychologically stable, and resilient
adults. This book looks at the biology of attachment theory: How does
parent/child attunement affect the growth and development of the baby's
brain and social and emotional functions?This book teaches parents to
understand how their child's brain is developing at each stage of
growth, how to foster social skills, and how attunement to their babies'
needs offers parents the basic building blocks to raise a healthy,
securely attached child. By understanding the role of secure attachment
and affect regulation in development, parents of children age birth to 5
will learn how to create a secure environment so that their child can
grow into their fullest potential.
