Professional channel, author, and mother of two, gives pregnant women the tools they need to bond with their baby as much as possible before he or she physically gets here.
"A guide to the most important months in our lives, the time before we are born. Now that scientists have discovered the profound influence on the unborn of the physical/emotional environment, we must create one in which baby - and parents - will thrive."--Jacket.
Examines prenatal development and factors influencing the unborn child, such as nutrition, maternal characteristics and experiences, drugs, and diseases.
The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
An examination of the datafication of family life--in particular, the construction of our children into data subjects. Our families are being turned into data, as the digital traces we leave are shared, sold, and commodified. Children are datafied even before birth, with pregnancy apps and social media postings, and then tracked through babyhood with learning apps, smart home devices, and medical records. If we want to understand the emergence of the datafied citizen, Veronica Barassi argues, we should look at the first generation of datafied natives: our children. In Child Data Citizen, she examines the construction of children into data subjects, describing how their personal information is collected, archived, sold, and aggregated into unique profiles that can follow them across a lifetime.
A pioneering birth psychologist combines a lifetime’s worth of research with new findings to provide a fascinating look inside the minds of unborn children In the past, the invisible physical processes of fetal development were mysterious and largely unexplainable. But thanks to breakthroughs in embryology, interuterine photography, ultrasound, and other sensitive instruments of measurement, we can now make systematic observations inside the womb—and can see that fetuses are fully sentient, aware beings. In this new climate of appreciation for the surprising dimensions of fetal behavior, sensitivity, and intelligence, Windows to the Womb brings a host of new information to light about the transformative journey each one of us undergoes in the womb. Birth psychologist Dr. David Chamberlain describes the amazing construction of our physical bodies—the "ultimate architecture"—and draws parallels with the expansion of our minds as our brains and senses develop and grow. He also details new discoveries in embryonic and fetal research that support his own findings on the impact of the mother's emotional and physical state during pregnancy; the importance of bonding at the earliest stages; and the steps that expectant parents can take to ensure the most nurturing start in life for their children.
Children are the foundation of the United States, and supporting them is a key component of building a successful future. However, millions of children face health inequities that compromise their development, well-being, and long-term outcomes, despite substantial scientific evidence about how those adversities contribute to poor health. Advancements in neurobiological and socio-behavioral science show that critical biological systems develop in the prenatal through early childhood periods, and neurobiological development is extremely responsive to environmental influences during these stages. Consequently, social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors significantly affect a child's health ecosystem and ability to thrive throughout adulthood. Vibrant and Healthy Kids: Aligning Science, Practice, and Policy to Advance Health Equity builds upon and updates research from Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity (2017) and From Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development (2000). This report provides a brief overview of stressors that affect childhood development and health, a framework for applying current brain and development science to the real world, a roadmap for implementing tailored interventions, and recommendations about improving systems to better align with our understanding of the significant impact of health equity.
A bad start in life does not mean that one must stay there. Weakness is an invitation to become stronger. Fear prevents one from living a full and joyous life. Addiction binds and blinds us until we come to our senses and step into our new identity that awaits our arrival. Consequently, poverty may rob us, fears may chase us, people may deny us, racism may embrace us, and drugs may control us, but our faith saves us. We overcome anything placed in our pathway by not accepting bad starts/fears/weakness/addiction or character triats that are not profitable. From Crack to Clergy: Provoking Thoughts takes us where bad starts do not set the pace for life. Fears are faced boldly. Weakness has become a strength. Addiciton leads to a deeper thinking process which causes one to look inside- come inside- stay inside because the power lies inside to launch one forward. Life brings many pains, and sometimes it seems we are forever in chains. However, change is always possible if we are willing to face the Lion and continue to roar back, if we move into our new being awaiting us in order to step into our true identity. We learn how to overcome and view each problem as an opportunity as we grow and learn more.
