"A
fascinating look at how we are neurologically 'programmed' to think,
feel, and act like our parents. This book shows moms how to avoid
passing along habits of stress and negativity, setting their children up
for good health, optimal learning, and better sleep." —Anjalee Warrier Galion, MD, Children's Hospital Orange County
With
constant feedings, teary outbursts, and trying to help your baby sleep
through the night, it's no wonder that parents of babies and young
children feel overwhelmed. Yet eye-opening neuroscientific research
shows that your stress directly affects your child's mood, behavior, and
health. The good news is that calm mamas have calmer, happier babies
who usually feed and sleep better, too.
Drawing on their
experience in nearly two decades of working with parents in Hollywood
and around the globe, Derek O'Neill and Jennifer Waldburger give parents
practical tools for choosing calm over stress no matter what is
happening with their child. For any mom who's ever said, "I wish my baby
came with instructions," Calm Mama, Happy Baby offers a step-by-step approach for helping you parent intuitively, with confidence.
