‘Nurseries are needed by parents, not the baby,’ maintains the author. Today we know a lot about the needs of a baby and child, about the irreplaceable value of parental love. That said, current work commitments mean that many babies are brought up in nurseries, with undesirable consequences.
This book explains the effects of a nursery on the development of the child, according to different scientific studies and it suggests alternatives so that parents can spend more time with their children.
