Every parent of a newborn feels overwhelmed by the enormity of the tasks at hand: Suddenly responsible for feedings, diaper changes, and trying to sleep, parents are stressed out and anxious. Since babies today are born even more aware, awake, and attuned than previous generations, it's easy to see why parents- especially moms-are frazzled.
The good news is that the cause and effect between parents' mental and emotional states and their baby's mood and behavior works both ways; when parents are calm and centered, their children are calm as well. From consulting in Hollywood's poshest nurseries to leading sold-out workshops from Los Angeles to Dublin, Jennifer Waldburger and Derek O'Neill share their proven arsenal of methods to calm parents and their kids-often in seconds.
With an eye-opening blend of neuroscience research, client stories, and cross-cultural insights, Calm Mama, Happy Baby
