First sentence: Not so long ago it was thought that newborn babies were simply a jumble of reflexes, feeling little pleasure and even less pain; they were not yet entitled to be called "little persons."
Description: First Feelings is the first book to show parents how to recognize the key stages of a child's emotional growth, while guiding and enhancing early psychological development.

With First Feelings you will understand -- and be prepared for -- your baby's emotional changes. The book covers such vital topics as:

   • Encouraging curiosity and independence
   • Handling temper tantrums, aggressiveness, and sibling rivalry
   • Stimulating (and overstimulating) your baby
   • Evaluating and dealing with your own emotional responses
   • Developing a positive and constructive parenting style
