A modern parenting classic by the internationally renowned childcare expert, podcaster, and author of No Bad Kids. In this straightforward and practical book, trusted parenting teacher Janet Lansbury helps you look at the world through the eyes of small children and relate to them as whole people who have natural abilities to learn without being taught. Once we are able to view our children in this light, even the most common daily parenting experiences become stimulating opportunities to learn, discover and connect with our child. Elevating Child Care focuses on common infant issues, including how to calm your clingy, fearful child, how to build your child's focus and attention spam, developing routines that promote restful sleep and nourishing your baby's healthy eating habits. Eschewing the 'quick-fix' approach of popular parenting culture, Lansbury's gentle, insightful guidance lays the foundation for a closer, more fulfilling parent-child relationship, and is an essential guide to raising children who grow up to be authentic, confident, successful adults.
