Synopsis: New parents need help. If you're still pregnant, I know, you're more worried about caffeine, cankles, and, oh, giving birth than what to do after baby arrives. If baby's already here, you know all too well what those quotes mean. I've been there, too. I had barely been around newborns before having my own. Boy, was I in for a shock. As editor of the bestselling book Brain Rules for Baby, I knew what was beneficial for baby's brain development. But once my own baby arrived, I wanted more how-to -- fast. And I didn't have the time or energy to read more than a page at a time. Zero to Five is the book I wish I'd had. Digging into the research and talking with experts, I collected 70 foundational, brief, practical tips, like:Get in syncRock, jiggle, and swingMake bedtime less crazyLabel intense emotionsCall a calm-down, not a time-outPlay at self-controlWhat makes Zero to Five truly special is that I've designed it specifically for exhausted new parents like you (and me):evidence-based parenting tips from the best researchers pulled into one bookbeautiful photographs of real families that you (and baby) will love to browsespecific words to use for emotion coaching and disciplinefun and funny stories that get at the highs and lows of parentinghold baby, not the book - it's spiral-bound, so it stays open on its ownjust flip to any page for a quick tip, a relief when you have such little energy and timeZero to Five is one parenting book you'll go to again and again.
