Fatherhood take 2
I am going to be a new dad again. I remember I wrote a story about turning back the clock and looking after a baby again, but all I really had to do was wait a bit and my chance appeared. So in about 6 months’ time there will be…

Every Kid is Different
I remember we were having a hard time with one of the girls. It was like nothing we did worked. Every instruction went in one ear and out the other. We were determined to get to the bottom of this. Even her day care had said maybe it had something…

早期亲密关系对于儿童长期精神健康和适应力的重要性
人类婴儿出生后非常依赖父母。 他们在出生后的头两年经历了极大程度的大脑发育，成长和神经塑形。 婴儿的大脑发育（就像他们的社会，情感和认知发育）取决于与主要照顾者（通常是父母）之间的亲密关系或依恋关系。 越来越多来自发展心理学，神经生物学和动物表观遗传学的研究证据表明，忽视，家长的不一致和缺乏爱可能导致长期的心理健康问题，而且会降低总体潜力和幸福感。 在本文中，作者参考了多个学科中有关这个见解的证据，并得出结论认为，婴儿及其父母在宝宝出生后头两年所能得到的支持是社区公共健康群体的重点目标。
