The book Touchpoints has become essential reading for anxious parents of babies and young children across America and in over twenty countries worldwide. T. Berry Brazelton expresses a great empathy for the universal concerns of parenting and his honesty about the complex feelings it evokes, as well as his remarkable insight into the predictable leaps and regressions of early childhood, providing relief and support to families since its first publication in 1992.

In this completely revised edition, Dr. Brazelton introduces new insights into physical, emotional, and behavioral development. He also addresses the new pressures faced by families and children's fears, with a striking focus on the role of fathers and other caregivers. This updated edition also offers new knowledge on premature birth, sleep patterns, early communication, toilet training, co-sleeping, play and learning, SIDS, cognitive development and signs of developmental delay, child care, asthma, children's immune system, and safety.

Dr. Sparrow, a collaborator with Brazelton on many other publications, offers his expertise as a child psychiatrist on the various timeless childhood issues covered in this comprehensive book.

No parent should be deprived of the relief and wisdom that Touchpoints provides.
