About this listen
Long before they can speak, our babies are brilliant communicators. They tell us - with their eyes and mouths, their little arms and legs, and all their funny noises - just how they feel and what they need. All we have to do as parents is listen.
For child psychotherapist and mother of four Marie Derome, parenting is not about imposing 'rules' on our babies. Rather, it is about being attentive, curious and ready to discover who our babies are so we can truly get to know them.
Drawing on her clinical practice, alongside the latest neuroscientific findings, Marie shows us how to strengthen the bond we have with our babies in a new and empowering way. She also offers helpful insights to get us back on track when we feel exhausted and overwhelmed, and when loving our babies is not so easy.
In What Your Baby Wants You to Know, Marie shows us how to nurture a loving connection with our babies so that they can grow happy and resilient and we can become the confident, responsive parents we always hoped to be.©2025 Marie Derome (P)2025 Headline Publishing Group Limited
Critic reviews
'This is just the book new parents need. Beautifully and sensitively written, it also tells it like it is, outlining the joys but also the challenges of parenthood in an easy-to-read yet psychologically sophisticated way. It uses the latest research about the brain and attachment, as well as the author's long standing experience as a therapist, but it is all wrapped up [with] many practical tips. This will be an excellent companion for any new parent.' - Graham Music, consultant psychotherapist, Tavistock Clinic and author of Nurturing Natures and Respark
'Marie's ability to take us through the wonderous, complex, overwhelming and, at times, unfathomable journey of discovering our babies, and ourselves, is remarkable. She has delivered a faithful companion on the toughest journey most of us will ever make.' - Dr Elizabeth Kilbey, clinical psychologist and author of Unplugged Parenting
'Marie translates into words everything my baby and I are feeling. This is a very insightful book which helps me navigate my baby journey, and also a very practical one, with tips and ideas useful to all parents!' - Manon Lagreve, baker, food writer and author of Chez Manon
'Parents everywhere, read this book! From its clever title onwards, Derome's distinct voice engages the reader with its warm, knowledgeable, reassuring tone, managing to be both user-friendly and scientifically- informed. Thus, what parent would not be relieved to hear that ambivalence towards one's baby is entirely normal, and even helpful. Chapter by chapter, the reader comes away as if from a good therapy session - validated, challenged, and helped. Spock and Leach eat your hearts out, Derome is deservedly destined to be the go-to parenting guide for the 21st Century.' - Professor Jeremy Holmes MD FRCPsych, University of Exeter
A beautifully written, insightful, one-stop shop to prepare you for the journey of parenthood. - Shivi Ramoutar
