When a family brings a new baby home, there are many changes. Older siblings may find it hard to understand the needs of the new baby, as well as the demands placed on mom and dad. Based on the attachment-parenting theories of the foremost authorities on parenting and childcare, William Sears, M.D., and Martha Sears, R.N., this book clearly explains baby’s needs. The text emphasizes how siblings can be helpers to both baby and parents, while forging their own relationships with “their baby,” and outlines the positive aspects of being an older girl or boy. Here is a warm, insightful book that will help the whole family joyously and lovingly welcome the newest member into their lives.

Genre:

  • Children's Books
  • Juvenile Nonfiction
  • Health & Daily Living
  • Daily Activities

William Sears, M.D., is the author of more than 30 books, including Dr. Sears' L.E.A.N. Kids, which he wrote with Sean Foy.
