A Mother's Circle: An Intimate Dialogue on Becoming a Mother - Paperback

by Jean Kunhardt (Author), Lisa Spiegel (Author), Sandra Kunhardt Basile (Author)

This updated version of "A Mother's Circle" chronicles the experiences of nine new mothers in a parenting discussion group led by Jean Kunhardt and Lisa Spiegel. "A Mother's Circle is informative and reassuring," writes Miriam Arond, Editor-in Chief of Child Magazine. "It will help you feel confident and supported, qualities that are so important in helping you enjoy this wonderful new stage of your life." The revised edition covers important topics such as feeding, separation and attachment, marriage, co-parenting and a woman's identity. The first chapter defines Responsive Parenting, a thoughtful approach that allows parents to make more finely-tuned responses to their baby's needs, whether it is setting a limit or nurturing and coddling. The expanded chapter on Sleep includes a Sleep Chart to help parents track the progress their babies in learning to sleep through the night.
