Beyond the Sling - A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way (Paperback): Mayim... Beyond the Sling - A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way (Paperback)
Mayim Bialik; Introduction by Jay Gordon
R451 R424 Discovery Miles 4 240 Save R27 (6%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

A groundbreaking approach to preventing autism--from a renowned pediatrician. Something is happening to our children, and Dr. Jay Gordon is determined to stop it. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in eighty-eight children in the United States is being diagnosed with developmental disorders on the autism spectrum (ASD). The accelerating ASD epidemic parallels industry's increased use of untested chemicals in manufacturing and our food supply. Preventing Autism identifies the toxic environmental triggers that can cause autism in susceptible children. Dr. Gordon presents a practical plan for safeguarding the neurological development of your children, from pre-pregnancy preparation through your baby's first twenty-four months. When you are pregnant, everything you experience--the air you breathe, what you eat and drink, the chemicals to which you are exposed, your emotions--is shared with your baby. Your child's health depends on creating an optimal environment for growth before and after birth. Preventing Autism presents a comprehensive program that covers: The latest research on the causes of ASD and the relationship between genetic factors and toxins that trigger developmental delays. How to reduce toxic exposure from your food, home, clothing, and cleaning and personal care products. The male biological clock. Recent research shows that mutations in older sperm contribute significantly to the incidence of autism. The book includes advice on keeping sperm healthy. Planning a nursery that is a healthy nest. Dietary guidance for moms-to-be, babies, and nursing mothers. Dr. Gordon's sensible approach to decisions about vaccinations. Preventing Autism offers a plan for eliminating harmful chemicals from your everyday life that can disrupt the development of your baby. Dr. Gordon believes we can combat autism one family at a time.
