A real-world guide to Attachment Parenting from the "Big Bang
Theory" actress, neuroscientist, and mother Mayim Bialik--a book
hailed by Dr. William Sears as "delightful" and by Ricki Lake as "a
fantastic guide to birth and parenting that is packed with
invaluable wisdom."
Mayim Bialik was the child star of the popular 1990s TV sitcom
"Blossom, " but she definitely didn't follow the typical child-star
trajectory. Instead, Mayim got her PhD in neuroscience from UCLA,
married her college sweetheart, and had two kids. Mayim then did
what many new moms do--she read a lot of books, talked with other
parents, and she soon started questioning a lot of the conventional
wisdom she heard about the "right" way to raise a child. That's
when she turned to Attachment Parenting, a philosophy and lifestyle
popularized by well-known physicians like Dr. William Sears and Dr.
Jay Gordon.
To Mayim, Attachment Parenting's natural, child-led approach not
only felt right emotionally, it made sense intellectually and
instinctually. She found that when she followed her intuition and
relaxed into her role as a mother instead of following some rigid
parenting script, both she and her children thrived. Taking into
account her experience as a mother (and her scientific background),
Mayim presents the major tenets of Attachment Parenting, including:
Baby wearing: How to "wear" your baby in a sling or a wrap to
foster a closer bond with your child--it's possible even for mamas
with bad backs (and with big babies)
Breastfeeding: Learn how to listen to your baby's cues rather than
sticking to a rigid schedule--and why people on airplanes love a
nursing mother
Gentle discipline: How to get your child to behave without yelling,
threats, or time-outs--it really is possible.
Co-sleeping: How to avoid "sleep training" and get a great night's
sleep for the whole family.
Without the pretense and luxuries typical of so many Hollywood
actors and parents, Mayim describes the beauty, simplicity, and
purposefulness of Attachment Parenting, and how it's become the
guiding principle for her family. Much more than a simple how-to
parenting guide, "Beyond the Sling" shows us that the core
principles underlying Attachment Parenting are universal and can be
appreciated no matter how you decide to raise your child.
