"From an evolutionary perspective, our ancient ancestors were
those who, as babies, were skilled at keeping their parents close.

I like expressing this idea in that way -- that babies are skilled at
keeping their parents close -- rather than putting the emphasis
on parents' ability to look after their children."

Sabre Tooth Tigers and Teddy Bears: The connected baby guide to attachment
by Dr. Suzanne Zeedyk

Description:

This Guide, written by developmental psychologist Dr. Suzanne Zeedyk, introduces readers to attachment – babies' innate need to know that someone will share their fears and joys. It uses the analogy of ‘Sabre Tooth Tigers & Teddy Bears’ to make attachment theory understandable for everyone.

People frequently ask, “How come no one tells us this stuff?” This guide is an attempt to tell more people about this stuff.

The guide is written in a style suited to both personal and professional interests. Parents will find the information in it as relevant to their lives as do childcare staff, teachers, health visitors, business leaders and anyone else who works with people.
