'A very insightful book, with tips and ideas useful for all parents' - Manon Lagreve

Long before they can speak, our babies are brilliant communicators. They tell us - with their eyes and mouths, their little arms and legs, and all their funny noises - just how they feel and what they need. All we have to do as parents is listen.

For child psychotherapist and mother of four Marie Derome, parenting is not about imposing 'rules' on our babies. Rather, it is about being attentive, curious and ready to discover who our babies are so we can truly get to know them.

Drawing on her clinical practice, alongside the latest neuroscientific findings, Marie teaches us how to strengthen the bond we have with our babies in a new and empowering way. She also offers helpful insights to get us back on track when we feel exhausted and overwhelmed, and when loving our babies is not so easy.

In What Your Baby Wants You to Know, Marie shows us how to nurture a loving connection with our babies so that they can grow happy and resilient and we can become the confident, responsive parents we always hoped to be.Long before they can speak, our babies are brilliant communicators. They tell us - with their eyes and mouths, their little arms and legs, and all their funny noises - just how they feel and what they need. All we have to do as parents is listen.
