About this title

From Library Journal

"Dancingparenting" is a program based on mutual trust between parent and baby that emphasizes awareness of and response to a baby's internal rhythms. Part 1, "Getting Rid of the `Shoulds,' " takes a critical look at current child rearing advice. Part 2, "Epilogue and Prologue," is a bridge between such advice and the dancingparenting philosophy. Part 3, "Getting Ready To Dance," explains babies' capabilities, feelings, and internal biorhythms. Part 4, "Let the Dance Begin," describes the ever-changing parent-child relationship and suggests ways to enhance the dance. The book as a whole sums up the authors' philosophy: "Bringing up baby isn't a growth process just for him but also for you." Recommended. Jodith Janes, Univ. Hospitals of Cleveland Lib.
