What happens between a child and the parents during the first nine months in the womb? The authors give new insight into the prenatal world and explain the importance of the parent-child relationship for development before and at birth. The authors present the latest findings in neuroscience and developmental psychology as well as observations from assisting deliveries to explain and describe the fascinating development of the
embryo and its importance to child development. Further contributors focus on parents, show how their bond with the child develops before birth,
and show how parents can take a positive attitude to parenting to overcome fears and anxiety.
