El futuro bebé (Spanish Edition)

Saber que el entorno es fundamental en el desarrollo del nino otorga a los padres mayores responsabilidades y transforma su papel de forma radical. Ya no son solo los encargados de procurar sustento a su hijo; son sus estimuladores, sus modelos emocionales, sus guias en las artes humanas de la empatia, la paciencia, el sentido del humor... Como afirma el doctor Verny: «La primera escuela es el vientre materno». Hoy sabemos que el cerebro del futuro bebe esta conectado a su entorno, recogiendo estimulos e impresiones. Lo queramos o no, todo lo que hacemos nuestras palabras, nuestros gestos, la rabia que liberamos o incluso las lagrimas que reprimimos constituyen para los ninos lecciones secretas sobre ellos mismos y sobre nosotros, sus padres. En opinion de los autores, una paternidad consciente comienza con la aceptacion del reto que supone la crianza y el cuidado de un hijo. En este libro, explican a los padres como pueden crear el entorno adecuado para que los pequenos desarrollen todas sus capacidades potenciales. / This book explains how even the most ordinary events, such as the words a mother speaks to her unborn son or the way a father holds his newborn daughter, evoke a cascade of biological changes -- not only in the brain but also in the immune system and throughout the body. Every experience, from her trip down the birth canal to an afternoon in the park, shapes the health and personality of the child. Whether we intend it or not, everything we say and do teaches the infant a secret lesson about herself and us, her parents. Tomorrow's Baby translates these scientific insights into practical advice for parents and parents-to-be. An internationally acknowledged expert in early human development, Dr. Thomas Verny draws on his knowledge of the latest scientific research to explain how, with planning and proper support, parents can create an ideal environment for their babies. Dr. Verny advocates ""conscious parenting,"" which begins with the parent's or caregiver's informed acceptance of the enormous challenge of raising and nurturing a child. He offers a wealth of practical suggestions, from optimal prenatal communication to enhancing infants' empathic abilities, as well as advice for building language acquisition, enhancing intelligence, and developing other social skills. Now, for the first time, parents can learn how to help actualize their child's full potential, beginning with conception.
