signifigant research effectsof first infant/parent understan

This is a very important book for the research it presents re. the nature & lifelong effects of parent/infant relationships developed through the first year of bonding. So soory it is out of print as there are few easily readable books on the market that help parents comprehend the data in such a beautiful way. Knowing that their child's entire future is effected by the nature of the relationships established in infancy with each of its parents, can assist parents in supporting optimum development of their child in all areas of the child's development: emotionally, intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually.Please ask author to revise and reprint. Then, of course, notify me. Thanks!
