Transforming Infant Wellbeing by Penelope Leach
Transforming Infant Wellbeing brings together science and policy to highlight the critical importance of the first 1001 days of infancy: the period from conception to the second birthday.
"Whenever Penelope Leach writes about children and childhood, the world rightly listensYoung children’s nurturance has been far too low a priority for decades. In assembling 25 leading-edge contributions showcasing the latest scientific thinking on infant wellbeing, Leach’s much-needed new book will be a key resource for both advancing that science and for closing the yawning gap between what we know and what policy-makers do in and around early childhood. Anyone connected with young children’s lives can’t afford not to read it." (Dr Richard House, C.Psychol., founder of Early Childhood Action)Something is badly wrong with the mental health of young Britons, and baby and toddlerhood is where it starts. The science now backs up what our hearts have always known: we have to take better care of young parents. Clear, and stunningly comprehensive, in this book Dr. Leach assembles an army of reasoned voices at the gates of government, calling for a revolution. (Steve Biddulph, AM)
