There is an excellent new book out by Ruth P Newton entitled The Attachment Connection - Parenting a Secure & Confident Child Using the Science of Attachment Theory.
This book sorts out the facts from the fiction about parent-child attachment and shows how paying attention to the emotional needs of your child during the first five years of development can help him or her grow up happy, secure, and confident.
The book talks about brain development at each stage of growth. It helps parents use reasonable, easy to implement guidelines based on sound science to foster secure attachment, healthy social skills, and emotional regulation.
It begins before the child is born and carries the reader through age five.
The book is easy to read, and offers parents lots of scenarios to make points and to illustrate, through exceptionally good writing, the mistakes we all make as parents. It's upbeat and positive. I really like this one.
I've had the book on my desk four months and have read parts of the book on and off for those four months and can't put it away. It's really quite good and well worth buying. For anyone interested in how children grow, develop or how the brain develops, this is the book for you.
The book is published by New Harbinger Publications and can be seen at
