Attachment parenting is a gentle, reasonable approach to parenting that stresses bonding with your baby, responding to her cues, breastfeeding, "wearing" your baby, and sharing sleep with your child. For those parents who worry about negative effects of this attention, the Sears say, "Spoiling is what happens when you leave something (or some person) alone on the shelf--it spoils." [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5'Book summary:It's Sunday after dark. Your baby is sick, hurt, or acting strangely, and the doctor won't be in until tomorrow. How can you find out what to do when your healthcare professionals are unreachable? You may only need to go as far as your bookshelf. The revised edition of Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 (the American Academy of Pediatrics' reference book for infancy through preschool), provides a wealth of authoritative child-care information in an easy-to-use format.
The first half of this hefty text serves as a comprehensive parenting manual, and includes a month-by-month guide to the first year, nutritional information, basic care instructions, and physical, emotional, and social developmental milestones for children up to 5 years old. While the American Academy of Pediatrics represents the mainstream child-rearing philosophies embraced by thousands of baby doctors, it does not reflect the entire gamut of child-rearing theory. (There's no discussion, for instance, of breast-feeding past the first year or co-sleeping.) The second half of the book includes a thorough, easy-to-navigate emergency first-aid section, plus detailed information about childhood illnesses, immunization schedules and side effects, and family structures, as well as a discussion of behavioral issues. Caring for Your Baby and Young Child is useful, sensible, and carefully researched, and makes a trustworthy addition to any parent's bookshelf. --Ericka Lutz [via]

Softcover, Pocket Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care'Book summary:Benjamin McLane Spock (May 2, 1903 - March 15, 1998) was an American pediatrician whose book Baby and Child Care, published in 1946, is one of the biggest best-sellers of all time. Throughout its first 52 years, Baby and Child Care was the second-best-selling book, next to the Bible. Its message to mothers is that "you know more than you think you do." Spock was the first pediatrician to study psychoanalysis to try to understand children's needs and family dynamics. His ideas about childcare influenced several generations of parents to be more flexible and affectionate with their children, and to treat them as individuals. In addition to his pediatric work, Spock was an activist in the New Left and anti Vietnam War movements during the 1960s and early 1970s. At the time his books were criticized by Vietnam War supporters for allegedly propagating permissiveness and an expectation of instant gratifications that led young people to join these movements, a charge Spock denied. Spock also won an Olympic gold medal in rowing in 1924 while attending Yale University. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Endangered Minds: Why Children Don't Think and What We Can Do About It'Book summary:Is today's fast-paced media culture creating a toxic environment for our children's brains?
In this landmark, bestselling assessment tracing the roots of America's escalating crisis in education, Jane M. Healy, Ph.D., examines how television, video games, and other components of popular culture compromise our children's ability to concentrate and to absorb and analyze information. Drawing on neuropsychological research and an analysis of current educational practices, Healy presents in clear, understandable language:
-- How growing brains are physically shaped by experience
-- Why television programs -- even supposedly educational shows like Sesame Street -- develop "habits of mind" that place children at a disadvantage in school
-- Why increasing numbers of children are diagnosed with attention deficit disorder
-- How parents and teachers can make a critical difference by making children good learners from the day they are born [via]

Arguing that the electronic media, fast-paced lifestyles, and current educational practice all contribute to this decline, Jane M. Healy calls for bold reform in the classroom and offers concrete advice on what parents can do at home -- including carefully monitoring their children's television watching -- to rescue the minds of this and future generations.

Hardcover, Simon & Schuster
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'A Mind at a Time'Book summary:Recognizing each child's intellectual, emotional, and physical strengths--and teaching directly to these strengths--is key to sculpting "a mind at a time," according to Dr. Mel Levine. While this flashing yellow light will not surprise many skilled educators, limited resources often prevent them from shifting their instructional gears. But to teachers and parents whose children face daily humiliation at school, the author bellows, "Try harder!" A professor of pediatrics at the University of North Carolina Medical School, Levine eloquently substantiates his claim that developmental growth deserves the same monitoring as a child's physical growth.
Tales of creative, clumsy, impulsive, nerdy, intuitive, loud-mouthed, and painfully shy kids help Levine define eight specific mind systems (attention, memory, language, spatial ordering, sequential ordering, motor, higher thinking, and social thinking). Levine also incorporates scientific research to show readers how the eight neurodevelopmental systems evolve, interact, and contribute to a child's success in school. Detailed steps describe how mental processes (like problem solving) work for capable kids, and how they can be finessed to serve those who struggle. Clear, practical suggestions for fostering self-monitoring skills and building self-esteem add the most important elements to this essential--yet challenging--program for "raisin' brain." --Liane Thomas [via]

The Nurture Assumption: Why Children Turn Out the Way They Doby Judith Rich HarrisISBN 0684857073 (0-684-85707-3)
Softcover, Simon & Schuster
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Nurture Assumption: Why Children Turn Out the Way They Do'Book summary:Whether it's musical talent, criminal tendencies, or fashion sense, we humans want to know why we have it or why we don't. What makes us the way we are? Maybe it's in our genes, maybe it's how we were raised, maybe it's a little of both--in any case, Mom and Dad usually receive both the credit and the blame. But not so fast, says developmental psychology writer Judith Rich Harris. While it has been shown that genetics is only partly responsible for behavior, it is also true, Harris asserts, that parents play a very minor role in mental and emotional development. The Nurture Assumption explores the mountain of evidence pointing away from parents and toward peer groups as the strongest environmental influence on personality development. Rather than leaping into the nature vs. nurture fray, Harris instead posits nurture (parental) vs. nurture (peer group), and in her view your kid's friends win, hands down. This idea, difficult as it may be to accept, is supported by the countless studies Harris cites in her breezy, charming prose. She is upset about the blame laid on parents of troubled children and has much to say (mostly negative) about "professional parental advice-givers." Her own advice may be summarized as "guide your child's peer-group choices wisely," but the aim of the book is less to offer guidance than to tear off cultural blinders. Harris's ideas are so thought-provoking, challenging, and potentially controversial that anyone concerned with parenting issues will find The Nurture Assumption refreshing, important, and possibly life-changing. --Rob Lightner [via]

The Out-Of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping With Sensory Integration Dysfunctionby Carol Stock KranowitzISBN 0399523863 (0-399-52386-3)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Out-Of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping With Sensory Integration Dysfunction'Book summary:Do you know a child who plays too rough, is uncoordinated, hates being touched, is ultra-sensitive (or unusually insensitive) to noise or sensations of heat and cold? Many pediatricians and other experts are beginning to recognize a link between some of these apparently unrelated behavior patterns. Children with perfectly normal "far senses" (such as sight and hearing) may have, because of a poorly integrated nervous system, serious problems with their "near senses," including touch, balance, and internal muscle sensation. It's called Sensory Integration Dysfunction, or SI. The announcement of yet another new syndrome is bound to raise skeptical eyebrows--and with good reason. (How do we know which child really has SI, and which one just happens to share some of the same symptoms?) Author Carol Stock Kranowitz argues convincingly, however, that for some children SI is a real disorder, and that it is devastating partly because it so often looks like nothing so much as "being difficult." And, whatever the scientific status of SI, Kranowitz carefully details many routines and remedies that will help children--and the parents of children--who exhibit the behaviors described. This book is a must-read for all doctors, pediatricians, and (perhaps especially) childcare workers. --Richard Farr [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Reviving Ophelia'Book summary:At adolescence, says Mary Pipher, "girls become 'female impersonators' who fit their whole selves into small, crowded spaces." Many lose spark, interest, and even IQ points as a "girl-poisoning" society forces a choice between being shunned for staying true to oneself and struggling to stay within a narrow definition of female. Pipher's alarming tales of a generation swamped by pain may be partly informed by her role as a therapist who sees troubled children and teens, but her sketch of a tougher, more menacing world for girls often hits the mark. She offers some prescriptions for changing society and helping girls resist. [via]

The Scientist in the Crib : Minds, Brains, and How Children Learnby Alison M. Gopnik, Andrew N. Meltzoff, Patricia K. KuhlISBN 0688159885 (0-688-15988-5)
Hardcover, HarperCollins Publishers
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Scientist in the Crib : Minds, Brains, and How Children Learn'Book summary:A trio of nationally respected childhood-development scientists hailing from Berkeley and the University of Washington has authored The Scientist in the Crib to correct a disparity: while popular books about science speak to intelligent, perceptive adults who simply want to learn, books about babies typically just give advice, heavy on the how-to and light on the why. The authors write, "It's as if the only place you could read about evolution was in dog-breeding manuals, not in Stephen Jay Gould; as if, lacking Stephen Hawking's insights, the layman's knowledge of the cosmos was reduced to 'How to find the constellations.'"
The Scientist in the Crib changes that. Standing on the relatively recent achievements of the young field of cognitive science (pointing out that not so long ago, babies were considered only slightly animate vegetables--"carrots that could cry"), the authors succinctly and articulately sum up the state of what's now known about children's minds and how they learn. Using language that's both friendly and smart (and using equally accessible metaphors, everything from Scooby-Doo to The Third Man), The Scientist in the Crib explores how babies recognize and understand their fellow humans, interpret sensory input, absorb language, learn and devise theories, and take part in building their own brains.
Such science makes for great reading, but will likely prove even more useful to readers with a scientist in their own crib, acting as tonic to pseudoscientific how-to baby books that recommend everything "from flash cards, to Mozart tapes, to Better Baby Institutes." As the authors put it, "We want to understand children, not renovate them." --Paul Hughes [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Your Baby and Child: From Birth to Age Five'Book summary:Penelope Leach's Your Baby & Child has been a beloved favorite for years. With this new, revised edition, Leach has updated her information and approach to reflect new findings in the field of child development, and to respond to the changing needs of today's families. Leach has utter respect for children and their parents; she explains development, child care, and parenting concerns clearly and without condescension.
Each developmental stage--newborn, settled baby, older baby, toddler, and young child--is discussed in terms of feeding, teeth and teething, growing, excreting, crying, sleeping, playing, and everyday care. For each stage, an additional set of appropriate topics is discussed, including muscle power, speech, child care, and appropriate toys. Colorful and expressive photos display infant, childhood, and toddler behavior. With her common-sense, child-positive approach, Leach carefully dispels negative parenting attitudes, and teaches readers how to stop, listen, and learn from their children. --Ericka Lutz [via]

Kinder Brauchen Marchenby Bruno BettelheimISBN 3423150106 (3-423-15010-6)
Hardcover, Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Kinder Brauchen Marchen'Book summary:Diese Augen! So schwarz wie die schwärzesten Kohle-Stücke und so tief wie der tiefste Waldsee. Überhaupt sieht das kleine Mädchen auf dem Buchumschlag aus wie Schneewittchen. Oder wie ein Kind, das Schneewittchen liebt.
Denn alle Kinder lieben Märchen. Noch mehr: Alle Kinder brauchen Märchen. Dafür plädierte Bruno Bettelheim seit Mitte der siebziger Jahre mit großer Überzeugungskraft. Er mußte es wissen: Bettelheim, 1903 in Wien geboren, emigrierte 1939 in die USA, war dort Professor für Erziehungswissenschaften, Psychologie und Psychiatrie an der Universität Chicago und einer der bekanntesten Kinderpsychologen. Er starb 1990. In deutscher Sprache erschien sein vielfach rezipiertes Buch Kinder brauchen Märchen erstmals 1977.
Bettelheims Erfahrung nach finden Kinder aller Entwicklungsstufen mehr Gefallen an Volksmärchen als an jeder anderen Art von Kindergeschichten. Der Frage, warum das Märchen so bezeichnend für das Innenleben des Kindes ist, ging Bettelheim nach; dabei wurde ihm mehr und mehr klar, daß das Märchen in einem viel tieferen Sinn als jede andere Lektüre dort einsetzt, wo sich das Kind in seiner seelischen und emotionalen Existenz befindet.
Seine Analysen einzelner Märchen und die Einbettung in ein allgemeines Verständnis für das Kind sind mittlerweile zu einem Standardwerk geworden, das nicht nur für Pädagogen, sondern auch für Eltern aufschlußreich ist. Und wie wichtig die richtige Lektüre in der Kinderzeit ist, betonte bereits Friedrich Schiller: "Tiefere Bedeutung liegt in dem Märchen meiner Kinderjahre als in der Wahrheit, die das Leben lehrt." --Lilli Belek [via]
