First Relationship

What does it mean to be born human, and what does it mean to be a mother. According to Daniel Stern, the author of this book, being born to be human means exploring, taking risks and gaining experience points; Being a mother means providing your infant with a world filled with experiences. In this book, using microscopic research methods, the author provides a detailed analysis of the interaction between mother and infant. After reading this book, you will know: How does the infant emerge as a social person in the first six months; In addition to breast milk, what does the infant get from the mother; Why is a mother's face more important to an infant than her breasts; If the mother is not there, can someone else replace the mother, and if so, to what extent; How can we attract and maintain the infant's interest when we are with the infant; What kind of psychological experience does the game of 'peek-a-boo' provide for infants, and so on. At the end of this book, with the example of behavioral observation, the author illustrates several types of situations in which mothers fail to regulate infant behavior - under-stimulation, overstimulation, abnormal stimulation, providing some feasible suggestions for mother-infant interaction.
