"very interesting, very informative, makes common misunderstandings (like "don't hold your newborn, you'll spoil her!") dissapear..."

"I actually purchased this book out of curiousity after I was told it was a book for me by a mum who was observing me being lovey dovey with my little man. Basically, the information the writer is trying to put across is why we need to be so loving and affectionate with our babies. A little on the technical side at times but overall it reiterates what I (and every sensible parent) should already know. I am a firm believer that if your child cries it is for a reason and not just a matter of getting his/her own way. I totally disagree with the whole leave them to cry it out belief that my mum says didn't do me any harm (sure it didn't!). Children need to be loved but more importantly they need to be shown that they are loved, even when they mess up. What we do with our babies sets the foundation of what they become when they are older."

"Great exploration into areas of developmental, social, personality and neuropsychology theory and practice. Mines of references from established research and theory to latest findings with good insight and focus on summarising crucial details. I'm planning to use it as one of my sources for my next year's dissertation."

"I read a chapter from this book as part of my psychotherapy course and decided straight away that I had to have my own copy.
This book links all the theories of attachment and child development with contemporary scientific research but presents it in a way that is very easy to read and understandable.
Many of the new insights in the book are extremely thought-provoking and I imagine that this book will be of interest to students, practitioners, and parents alike.
In my opinion every parent and everyone involved in child care or child development should read this book. I thoroughly recommend it."

"This is a really great book, gets you thinking, quite a lot of technical stuff in it so quite hard to read. But well worth the effort"
