Product Description
Studies in the 1950s revealed that young children hospitalized without their parents respond first by crying for them, then by showing signs of despair, and finally by emotionally detaching from the parents and acting indifferent to their absence. This detachment is hard to repair and highly detrimental to a child's development--most children who feel they cannot rely on their parents grow up to become more emotionally insecure and less self-assured than their peers. P bThe Attachment Connection/b sorts out the facts from the fiction about parent-child attachment and shows how paying attention to the emotional needs of your child, particularly during the first five years of development, can help him or her grow up happy, secure, and confident. You'll discover how your child's brain is developing at each stage of growth and learn to use reasonable, easy-to-implement guidelines based on sound science to foster secure attachment, healthy social skills, and emotional regulation in your child. /p

5 out of 5 stars Very Helpful and Insightful   January 5, 2009
After reading the summary on ParentsDigest, I felt I wanted to read this whole book as it provides really useful advice regarding bonding with your child in order to bring out the best in them. I am glad I found this book!


5 out of 5 stars Pertinent to all Child Caretakers   June 8, 2008

Dr. Newton's book is beautifully written to enable a layperson to move quickly from the basic theory of attachment to the intricacies of how different skill levels of care-taking and attachment building can affect a child's brain development and emotional regulation skills over a lifetime. br /br / Part of Dr. Newton's research has taken place at one of the largest homeless shelters in CA, whose population includes close to 200 children and their families. She has developed a wide array of observational and interactive tools to assess attachment between parent and child, and to create parenting classes, dyadic therapy, and many other interventions when she and her skilled team determine that attachment has not developed positively and the child is struggling along a spectrum of dysregulated behaviors.br /br / Dr. Newton's book shows that she is a brilliant and creative theorist as well as a professional who is keenly empathic toward children and their primary caretakers. br /

Dr. Newton's book is a gift to anyone who wants to have a meaningful understanding about the importance of parental bonding and non-verbal communication with infants. br /She has written a book that not only illustrats the life long impact and importance of the childs attachment to its primary care giver, but she gives the reader easy tools and methods to accomplsh the goal.br /Her writing style is poetic and lyrical. A truly extraordinary read!
