The Emotional Life of Babies: Find closeness, presence and sleep for you and your baby with this compassionate approach to crying (in English)
Synopsis "The Emotional Life of Babies: Find closeness, presence and sleep for you and your baby with this compassionate approach to crying (in English)"
You are not failing if your baby keeps on crying! Do you want to know how to: - Respond compassionately to your baby's crying?- Understand how feelings affect 'cluster feeding' and frequent night waking? - Accurately read your baby's cues? Do you want to support your baby to: - Sleep soundly without 'self-soothing' or 'controlled crying'? - Stay connected with their true self? - Heal from birth trauma and daily stresses? In this deeply detailed and informative book, Dr Marion Rose offers the answers to all these questions, drawing on the Aware Parenting approach, which was created by Aletha Solter, PhD. The Emotional Life of Babies explains how crying isn't only a way for babies to communicate their needs. It's also how they heal from daily stresses and larger trauma, as long as we are holding them with compassionate presence. In this way, babies can return to deep relaxation, leading to more restful and restorative sleep. With a research background including studying mothers and babies for her PhD at Cambridge University, Dr. Marion Rose invites you to make your own observations as a parent. In this way, you can differentiate between the two types of crying and between relaxed presence and dissociation. You can also gather evidence and receive reassurance that your baby really does feel more connected, more present, and more relaxed with Aware Parenting. From two decades of working with thousands of parents as an Aware Parenting instructor, and a decade before as a psychotherapist, Dr. Marion Rose supports you to be compassionate with yourself on the journey to transform your parenting. The Emotional Life of Babies includes inspiring true stories from parents who have experienced the life-changing effects of being with their babies' feelings. Discover the powerful role you can play in shaping the foundations of your baby's emotional life so that they can feel at home in their body, as the aware and present being they were born to be. Praise for The Emotional Life of Babies "I believe this is the most fundamental learning of our times. Somehow in 20 years of being in the mental health field I didn't know this vital information and unconsciously yearned for it - the anatomy of feelings. Not some wishy-washy new age concept. No, the exact patterns within which our feelings arise, what happens in the body, and how to respond to them." ─ Clare-Louise Brumley, PhD, OLY"In The Emotional Life of Babies, Marion Rose shares her amazing ability to perceive the world through a baby's eyes. She offers a gentle invitation for parents to put aside preconceived ideas about babies and learn to interpret cues that are often overlooked or misunderstood. With deep compassion, she explains how parents' own childhood experiences can cause them to misinterpret what their babies are trying to tell them. Parents who follow her advice will enhance their baby's emotional development and strengthen attachment." ─ Aletha Solter, Ph.D., founder of Aware Parenting
