Showing results for "Ma" in Infants & Toddlers

Research has shown that the first three years in a child's life are a critical moment in their development, and that behavior patterns instilled during that time can have profound implications for the rest of a child's life. Hundreds of thousands of parents have already used the advice in Positive Discipline: The First Three Years to help set effective boundaries, forge strong foundations for healthy communication, and lay the groundwork for happy and respectful relationships with their young children.

Caring for young children is one of the most challenging tasks an adult will ever face. No matter how much you love your child, there will be moments filled with frustration, anger, and even desperation. There will also be questions: Why does my four-year-old deliberately lie to me? Why is everything a struggle with my three-year-old? Should I ever spank my preschooler when she is disobedient? Over the years, millions of parents have come to trust the Positive Discipline series and its common-sense approach to child-rearing.

Your precious newborn comes into the world like a bud on the verge of blooming, eager to grasp the rhythm of life. As the developing brain embarks on its journey outside the womb, it instinctively seeks to organize and make sense of this new world, yet it is unable to sculpt the cycles of feed-wake and sleep that it needs to thrive. This is where the parents step in, as caretakers and creators, much like the artisans molding clay, they begin to shape the child's world with gentle precision guided by Babywise Sleep Solutions.

Rachael Elmore has been there and knows on a personal and professional level how hard the early days and months of motherhood can be.

For babies, like for all living things, being fed is best. But the current stringent focus on exclusive breastfeeding is putting some babies at risk by depriving parents of a full understanding of how to tell when breastfeeding alone doesn't provide enough—and what to do about it. Fed Is Best provides a clear-eyed look at the current messaging and latest scientific research around breastfeeding and formula feeding, to help parents make informed choices about how to best feed their baby based on their individual circumstances.

Pediatrician Nimali Fernando and feeding therapist Melanie Potock (aka Dr. Yum and Coach Mel) know the importance of giving your child the right start on their food journey-for good health, motor skills, and even cognitive and emotional development. In this updated, second edition of Raising a Healthy, Happy Eater, they explain how to expand your family's food horizons, avoid the picky eater trap, identify special feeding needs, and put joy back into mealtimes.

LE GUIDE DE RÉFÉRENCE POUR UNE PARENTALITÉ ENTRE SCIENCE ET INSTINCT. Porter, accoucher, materner : nous partageons ces trois processus physiologiques et primaires avec tous les mammifères. Depuis plus d'un siècle pourtant, les principes d'éducation en vigueur nous éloignent de nos instincts : on nous pousse à laisser l'enfant dormir dans sa chambre, à ne pas trop le porter et à le laisser pleurer, au risque qu'il devienne capricieux. Charlotte Lardery, sage-femme, nous aide ici à trouver la parentalité la plus juste possible, à l'écoute de notre enfant et de ses besoins.

¿Has pensado alguna vez en los miles de pañales que se gastan? ¿Y las toallitas, chupetes, tetinas, biberones…? En el primer año de vida, un bebé puede multiplicar por cuatro los residuos de un adulto.
