Attachment
“Attachment is an invisible, emotional bond that connects two people very specifically across space and time”, describes the British attachment researcher John Bowlby.
The book “SAFE®
– Safe Education for Parents” offers valuable insights and answers to
the most pressing questions: How do I become a good parent? How
does my child develop a secure attachment so that he or she feels safe and
protected with me? Do parents always have to be there? What to do if the parents have different
needs than the baby? How does pampering come about? What boundaries does
my baby need? How do I help my baby if he cries a lot or finds it very difficult to fall asleep
? How do I react to his tantrums?
The book provides answers to these questions and accompanies parents from pregnancy through to the first years of their child’s life. It helps to promote a self-confident, resilient and socially competent development of children.
The chapter Parents, babies, smartphones and other media – a special “relationship” draws attention to the dangers of using smartphones and tablets on the emotional and secure binding development of infants and toddlers. Reference is also made here to “Bildschirmfrei bis 3” – BB3 for short, a project that the CHAJA Foundation also supports.
PROJECT AIMS
The bond between child and parent is very important for the child’s self-confident, resilient and socially competent development. Much of the relevant information in the book is also illustrated with pictures. Our aim is to use these loving and memorable illustrations to give all (expectant) parents a low-threshold and light-hearted approach to the topics of parenting, education and secure attachment. The author’s easy and catchy writing style also contributes to this.
