En grandissant, nous avons tous regretté d'en savoir si peu sur ce qui nous traversait ou touchait nos proches.

Every parent has pondered "nature vs. nurture" questions. How much of my child's personality and behavior is inborn? How much is learned? This important book, written by behavioral scientists who are also mothers, has answers. This book offers the best parenting practices to foster resilience by encouraging children's social-emotional development and adaptive stress-regulation strategies. The authors translate scientific research into concrete, actionable tips and recommendations to help promote the emotional wellbeing of both child and parent.

Whether you're nervous, exhilarated, or overwhelmed by the idea of motherhood, this is the perfect chance to learn what normal newborn behavior is really like and how best to care for yourself and your little one.

Around the time your first baby turns a year old your brain will turn on you. For reasons that are still not understood by science, the sleep deprivation and postpartum hormones you barely survived with your first baby fade from memory and will be replaced with idyllic images of your growing child. This is when your brain, having officially lost all regard for your well-being, begins to fantasize about a second baby. And for the first time since becoming a parent, these thoughts don't make you break out in hives.

Every kid needs horseplay! Roughhousing is an essential part of childhood development—but it is increasingly overshadowed by screens and structured activities.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you swamped and exhausted by all you strive to do, ending most days feeling unsatisfied and unsuccessful?

I couldn’t see a way of getting everything done and keeping everyone happy.

As a parent, you want the best for your child, and one of your greatest hopes is that your child will grow up to be a good person. So, what makes a good person? Generally, we think about good people as being kind: compassionate, empathetic, generous. However, it seems that, in our fast-paced, individual-driven society, kindness is fading and the pressure on parents to raise socially conscious, empathetic, and caring children can seem overwhelming at times.

The parenthood chapter of life is one that many people feel unprepared for. In fact, according to a survey conducted by Boudreaux’s Butt Paste (a diaper rash company), only 12 percent of first-time parents feel prepared to welcome their newborn. First-time parents often face scrutiny, uncertainty, and challenges in sorting through conflicting information.

It’s 2am but your baby thinks it’s party time; their ‘routine’ seems to change with the wind, and you would do anything to get a good night’s sleep. We know how you feel! You might be prepared and listening to this before baby arrives, or as they snooze beside you in those early new-born days, knowing that forewarned is forearmed. Or your eyebags may tell their own bedtime story. Either way, if your baby is not sleeping, you have not done anything wrong. Your baby is not broken (although you might feel broken from lack of sleep), and you are not a bad parent.

Aside from preparing for labor and giving birth, it’s imperative to also prepare how to care for and nurture a baby. A lot of parents, even mothers, often forget to prepare for the baby by learning how to care for one. This is because pregnancy and expecting can be so exciting that this aspect is overlooked. Babies are sensitive, and the first few weeks are crucial in keeping them healthy and well. You and your partner should prepare by reading or listening to books or watching clips online on how to care for a baby.
