In the mid 1980's Shaaron wrote a book which sold 30,000 copies in newsagents and magazine stores, called The Mother and Baby Book. It was a fine-detailed ideas book on how to communicate, play, and enjoy very young children, in the first six years, taking each age at a time. Often young mothers today lack the experience and pleasure of how to play and understand their babies and toddlers, and so miss out on what is possible - how to read the signs, and stimulate and extend their babies, rather than just leaving them be, or opting for pressured 'early learning' approaches which just stress mother and child.

Reprinted with additional material for fathers, and more help with toddler discipline and other practical aspects, and with powerful parenthood stories by sportswriter Martin Flanagan, the new volume is we believe the best book for seeing the first six years in a perspective as a glorious and precious time full of good things to do.
