In this book, her follow-up to the bestseller Discipline Without Damage, Dr. Lapointe advises new parents how to put their child on a path to optimal development during the crucial early years.
The baby and toddler years are the most important period for any child’s emotional and psychological development. Parents naturally want to do what’s best for their kids, but they often struggle to know what that is, especially when dealing with the big “battlegrounds” of sleep, feeding, and managing aggression.
The latest scientific research indicates that it is through a strong and stable sense of connection to their parents that children learn how to regulate their emotions, master social skills, and develop a sense of identity. Unfortunately, many of the currently accepted parenting practices and traditional attitudes disrupt healthy connection rather than foster it, leading to behavioral issues and emotional problems that can last into adulthood.
Dr. Lapointe helps parents to understand how mindful and conscious parenting can help them to avoid passing unhealthy patterns down from one generation to the next. Rooted in compassion and understanding, Parenting Right From the Start shows parents how to build a firm, caring presence in the early years that a child can lean into for a lifetime.

Iâm finding lots of excellent advice as a first time mom. We all want to raise our tiny humans as best as possible, this book brings together a lot of research about parenting and what children need.

The best parenting book this century! Supportive, kind, nuturing attachment based guide that also helps adult caregivers grow themselves up so they can be their best selves for all the little people in our lives! A must read, not only for parents, but for aunts, uncles, grandparents, child care workers, nannies, babysitters and anyone who comes into contact with little ones. Lead on Dr. Vanessa!

I think that this is the most important book in print today. If every parent read it we would change the world in one generation. It is brilliant and incredibly well written.

Vanessa LaPointe is an incredible communicator. I have attended several of her speeches and read both of her books. For me, they are life changing and bring so much understanding to human behavior and ways to love children that are incredibly amazing game changers for both caregivers and the child. IN my opinion, a MUST read book.
