Raising Happy Healthy Children: Why Mothering Matters (Hawthorn Press Early Years)

Raising Happy Healthy Children is a fully updated second edition of What Children and Babies Really Need.

With new information carefully added, this book examines the crucial early years from a child’s perspective.

It draws on the latest scientific research to show how the first few years determine the way children develop, body and mind, for the rest of their lives.The keys to this development are parents, and in particular mothers.

A society which really cares for its children, says Sally Goddard Blythe, values parents, and makes it possible for them to spend time and be actively involved with their children for at least the first two years of life.
