How does early attachment foster a child's eventual independence?

"The Attachment Parenting Book" clearly explains the six "Baby B's" that form the basis of this increasingly popular parenting style: Bonding, Breastfeeding, Babywearing, Bedding close to baby, Belief in the language value of baby's cry, Beware of baby trainers.Here's all the information you need to achieve your most important goals as a new parent: to know your child, to help your child feel right, and to enjoy parenting.

Nina Redmond is a literary matchmaker. Pairing a reader with that perfect book is her passion… and also her job. Or at least it was. Until yesterday, she was a librarian in the hectic city. But now the job she loved is no more. Determined to make a new life for herself, Nina moves to a sleepy village many miles away. There she buys a van and transforms it into a bookmobile—a mobile bookshop that she drives from neighborhood to neighborhood, changing one life after another with the power of storytelling. From helping her grumpy landlord deliver a lamb, to sharing picnics with a charming train conductor who serenades her with poetry, Nina discovers there’s plenty of adventure, magic, and soul in a place that’s beginning to feel like home… a place where she just might be able to write her own happy ending.

Gertie MacIntyreová měla vždycky hlavu v oblacích a neustále snila o tom, jaké by to bylo, kdyby sebrala odvahu a vyrazila z malého městečka na severu Skotska. Jádrem komunity, kde všichni vědí o všech všechno, je klub pletařek, silných, samostatných a taky zvědavých žen, které tvrdě pracují, pletou a navzájem se podporují. Ve středu klubu stojí Gertiina matka a babička, jež spolu žijí obklopeny vlnou v malé chaloupce u pobřeží. Jenže přichází kolotoč změn – nová práce v místních aerolinkách se spolužačkou Morag, noví přátelé, snad i nová láska. Před Gertie se otevírá úplně nový svět. Dokáže v něm naplnit své sny? Srdceryvný příběh o pletení, romantice a ženských poutech od královny feel-good literatury.
