About the Book

Your path to a calm and confident connection with your infant or toddler

Your baby is already a person: aware, capable, and taking in far more than we tend to imagine. Baby Person is about what becomes possible when we parent from that understanding.

It’s a book focused on you: on the quality of your days, your trust in your own judgment, and your relationship with the child right in front of you. Instead of techniques to apply, you’ll find a way of seeing that makes the ordinary hours (diaper changes, meals, the long stretch before bed) calmer and more connected. And it becomes a bond steeped in trust, respect, and mutual delight, one that starts now and lasts a lifetime.
