Beyond the Sling

Really wish I had read this sooner. I have spent the first months of my babies life often being “guilt tripped” and “shamed” for my instincts on how to parent. (You know the usual sayings such as “making a rod for your own back). Now I feel much better that my instincts haven’t been wrong for us!

I discovered Mayim quite by accident one sleepless night, while caring for my baby, on YouTube. I then found out about this book, about the same time I became aware of the term "attachment parenting." I read this book within two days of receiving it! This book is amazing. She presents both scientific facts, combined with her experiences in order to present to us a wonderful overview of what constitutes attachment parenting. Unbeknown to me I began parenting after having my baby in a way that falls underneath the attachment parenting umbrella term, I found myself needing validation in my decisions or atleast some understanding or explainations of these behaviours. I found this book to be insightful, positive and without an ounce of judgement. It's written in such a fabulous way. Overall cannot praise it enough!

livre passionnant à lire si on veut progresser dans l'éducation des enfants, Mayim est une spécialiste en neuroscience ce qui rend ses conseils passionnants.

Love the real life insights into being an attachment mum, from a scientist too.

Excelente leitura para aqueles que querem entender um pouco mais da criação com apego. Trata-se de uma descrição do que a autora fez com seus filhos. Nesse sentido, é um livro bem particular. Entretanto, as discussões sobre os diversos temas abordados confere a universalidade necessária para que o livro possa ser apreciado por outras pessoas.
