Pre-Parenting: Nurturing Your Child
from Conception by Pamela
Weintraub
Excellent
How does a mothers tone of voice affect her unborn child? What kind of
music, if any, should a child be exposed to in the womb? Can parents
influence the predispositions of their child to traits like depression, or
something as elusive as basic goodness? Thanks to revolutionary
discoveries in neuroscience and developmental psychology in recent
years, says Dr. Thomas Verny, we now know more about these questions
than ever. In Pre-Parenting, Dr. Verny translates this research into
practical advice for parents and parents-to-be. Pre-Parenting explains how
even the most ordinary events can evoke a cascade of biological changes
in a baby -- not only in the brain but also in the immune system and
throughout the body. Every experience, from a babys trip down the birth
canal to the way she is held or spoken to, can shape her health and
personality. An internationally recognized expert in early human

development, Dr. Verny shows parents how to use this new information to
create an ideal environment for their babies, enhance their babies
intelligence and social skills, and become better parents through conscious
parenting. Insightful and encouraging, Pre-Parenting is an invaluable guide
for parents who want to help actualize their childs full potential, beginning
with conception.
Personal Review: Pre-Parenting: Nurturing Your Child from
Conception by Pamela Weintraub
This book explains how the behavior of parents during pregnancy,
childbirth and early childhood can influence the brain and body of the child
on becoming a healthy, intelligent and emotionally fit child.
Notwithstanding the previous reviews arguing that this work lacks cientific
support, it appears to me that more than 95% of Verny's theories stand
upon research from prestigious scientists from the four corners of the
world. In fact, the book has hundreds of bibliographic references. Verny
explains in a clear and concise fashion how prenatal stress, music,
domestic violence, desire to give birth or not, conversation, drug and
alcohol abuse, among other factors that you can control, can shape the
brain of the unborn child. At the end of every chapter you will find a short
list of advices and good practices to have an emotionally and mentally
healthy child. Well written and a pleasure to read. For spanish speakers,
there is a translation from a Catalunian editor, available from spanish
internet book stores. The pregnancy and early childhood periods are,
according to the author, paramount in the development of the brain.
Afterwards the brain structure is almost fixed. The author gives you the
advice on how to navigate successfully through these critical periods of the
life of your child.
