{"product_id":"9780807786536","title":"Getting to Know You : Lessons in Early Relational Health from Infants and Caregivers by Junlei Li","description":"This user-friendly guide uses narrative storytelling to describes the principles of early relational health with direct application to day-to-day work with infants and parents.    Practitioners on the front lines often feel great pressure to know \"what to do\" in a wide range of challenging situations. Drawing on both developmental science and extensive clinical experience, Dr. Gold provides evidence that the exact opposite-a stance of not-knowing-helps us find our way into another person's experience, offering the greatest opportunity for connection, growth, and healing.    Gold presents a model of \"listening in\" with an intentional suspension of expectations and a willingness to be surprised. The paradigm of listening in functions as a kind of superpower to enhance teacher-student, professional-parent, and parent-infant relationships. Getting to Know You is important reading for a broad variety of practitioners working with infants, including early childhood educators, home visitors, pediatricians, doulas, and mental health clinicians, as well as policymakers, parents, and other caregivers.  Book Features: Summarizes the key advances in our understanding of brain science, child development, and infant-parent mental health.   Emphasizes lessons from real-life interactions between infants and caregivers as communicated through detailed clinical vignettes.   Offers practitioners a model for listening that is rooted in the concept of cultural humility and the idea that even in sameness there is difference.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294849249653,"sku":"9780807786536","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780807786536.jpg?v=1762766233","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780807786536","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
