(02/02/27 PREORDER) Baby Person: What Babies Know, What Parents Miss, and How Seeing Your Child Clearly Can Change Everything

The highly anticipated, essential guide to caring for, understanding, comforting, and bonding with infants and toddlers—from the beloved parenting consultant and #1 podcaster.

Pioneering infant and child expert Janet Lansbury invites you to consider how you see your child: Rather than a blank slate you must mold and shape, your baby is a thinking, expressive, innately capable person, ready to begin a relationship with you from birth. In Lansbury’s warm and eminently helpful hands, however, this is more than just an ideology; Baby Person makes this perspective actionable, bringing more ease, joy, and amazement to all of your interactions with your child.

Drawing on the central tenets of the RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) philosophy, as well as her more than thirty years working with families and being a parent herself, Lansbury illuminates a lifelong relationship path that you can begin to follow right now, as well as tools to deal confidently with the pressure points you face every day, including:

* how to encourage your child’s healthy sleep and eating
* routines that bring calm to both you and your baby
* effective responses to crying and tantrums that foster emotional health
* a less-pain, more-gain way to potty train
* a simple approach to discipline that you can feel proud of
* how to nurture your baby’s innate drive to learn through play

A book that will reframe the way you relate to the little people in your life, Baby Person holds the key to experiencing deeper satisfaction as a parent and becoming the authentic, emotionally present caregiver you want to be, now and beyond these tender first few years.
