Why Trusting Your Natural Parenting Instinct Could Harm Your Baby. From the beginning of human existence and hundreds of years forward, people have been able to successfully care for their babies without the help of countless parenting books or quick searches on Google. What has changed since then that has made us chronic worriers, unable to trust our innate abilities? Society. We feel the pressure of our fast-paced world closing in on us, wanting to deliver the high expectations we set for ourselves as a result. This causes us stress, fear, and worry, so much to the point where it clouds our own judgment. Although there's nothing that can be done about how quickly modern-life evolves, you can ease your troubles and worries by doing what's best for you in times of expecting a little one: Fill your head with the essential knowledge to simplify the process and take the guesswork out of parenthood. In Smooth Transition to Parenthood for First-Time Mothers and Fathers, you will discover: What changes you can expect both mentally and physically before and after the baby is born, yet how you can adjust to them accordingly without compromising your relationship The key aspect to keep in mind before returning to work, especially if time-management is a major concern of yours How to utilize the best postnatal exercises to keep your body fit, in shape, and back to how it used to be before pregnancy The #1 mistake mothers make when it comes to nutrition that only ends up delaying the recovery process, and what you should be focusing on instead How to lose the baby weight naturally yet effectively, and make sure it stays off in the long run The top factors to consider before deciding whether or not (or when) to have a second child, allowing you to avoid running into hardships further down the line How to rebuild intimacy with your partner once the baby is born and see past any barriers that may be causing tension in the relationship And much more. You're not alone--nearly all first-time parents have endless worries and questions before, during, and after birth. The difference, however, between stressful parenthood and one where you can actually take a moment to recollect your thoughts, is the quality of information and advice you receive. Although you may feel overwhelmed or as if you won't be a good parent, it's important to relax and view everything as a learning process. Parenting isn't about being perfect, but rather it's about exploring a new world and getting comfortable with the incredible changes that coincide with it, both inside and out. Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you hold your son or daughter for the first time and look into their eyes. In that moment, all you want to do is give them the world. Stop wasting your energy on worries, and start fueling your baby with the love and nurturing they need to grow into happy, healthy, confident children.

An encouraging guide to helping parents find more happiness in their day-to-day family life, from the former lead editor of the New York Times' Motherlode blog. In all the writing and reporting KJ Dell'Antonia has done on families over the years, one topic keeps coming up again and again: parents crave a greater sense of happiness in their daily lives. In this optimistic, solution-packed book, KJ asks: How can we change our family life so that it is full of the joy we'd always hoped for? Drawing from the latest research and interviews with families, KJ discovers that it's possible to do more by doing less, and make our family life a refuge and pleasure, rather than another stress point in a hectic day. She focuses on nine common problem spots that cause parents the most grief, explores why they are hard, and offers small, doable, sometimes surprising steps you can take to make them better. Whether it's getting everyone out the door on time in the morning or making sure chores and homework get done without another battle, How to Be a Happier Parent shows that having a family isn't just about raising great kids and churning them out at destination: success. It's about experiencing joy--real joy, the kind you look back on, look forward to, and live for--along the way.

Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
