About this title

Synopsis

Addresses aspects of parent-child bonding during pregnancy, birth, and babyhood, while examining such areas as birth practices and settings, prenatal testing, labor support, newborn testing, breast feeding, prematurity, and adoption.

Reviews

In a follow-up to their book Parent-Infant Bonding, child researchers Klaus, Kennell, and Klaus present effective methods for parents to heighten the bonding experience between them and their children. They begin by discussing those things parents can do before their child's birth to lay the groundwork for a better relationship, including managing those prebirth fears parents often have. After labor, "early connections [within] the first hour of life" are stressed, including the need to understand the baby's "astonishing natural talents." In the days and weeks after birth, dealing with postpartum depression and parental expectations are extremely important. The authors offer insight and understanding on potential bonding difficulties with infants who are born prematurely or with birth defects, including the effects of parental guilt and anxiety. Cleanly written and free of jargon. A fine aid for all soon-to-be parents. Brian McCombie

Marshall, Phyllis Klaus, and John Kennell, authors of the classic Parent-Infant Bonding (1982, o.p.), do an amazing job with their latest title. The authors discuss the crucial bonding experience and the most important relationship in a child's life?that between parent and child. All bonding situations that take place during pregnancy, birth, and the early months of life are discussed. Studies cited in the book indicate that "well-bonded" babies, and even younger children (up to age seven), have remarkably higher test scores and better academic grades in school and are more successful overall. Must reading for new parents, this title will help to lay a secure basis for future independence of the child. This informative yet easy-to-read book is essential for all libraries.?Marty D.
