Brazelton and Sparrow offer new parent resources

In a series of new books, famed Children's child development specialists T. Berry Brazelton, MD, and Joshua Sparrow, MD, spell out methods to help parents deal with some of the basic problems of childhood.

Sleep: The Brazelton Way
covers everything a parent needs to know about sleep. Topics include the first great “touchpoint” of helping the baby sleep through the night; deciding whether to start with a “family bed” and how to wean a child into his or her own bed; sleepwalking; nightmares; and above all, helping children to go to sleep alone.

Calming Your Fussy Baby: The Brazelton Way helps parents interpret the very first cries of an infant, and shows them how to respond in the most appropriate and effective way. Drs. Brazelton and Sparrow deal with urgent problems such as colic, whining and tantrums. They also show how the emergence of gestures and words gradually replaces crying as the child's way to act on the world.

Discipline: The Brazelton Way shows how the normal physical, emotional and intellectual growth spurts can lead to conflicts and testing behavior. For each problem—defiance, lying, stealing, fighting, biting and foul language—Drs. Brazelton and Sparrow offer both understanding and practical solutions.
