Why read it?
1 author picked Diary of a Baby as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book helps parents to empathize with their young children, to understand how they are feeling and what they are thinking and to make attachment theory more real.
From Erica's list on The best books on raising an emotionally secure and resilient child.
