baby massage

توضیحات

This book is divided into four chapters. The first chapter, Key Techniques, demonstrates step-by-step all the strokes you need to give your baby a full-body massage, and advises on how to introduce massage into your baby’s routine. Everyday Care suggests ways to incorporate additional positive touch into your daily routine, and shows how baby massage is approached in various cultures. There is also a section on how massage benefits children with special needs. Massage for Different Age Groups outlines the information you need to adapt your massage techniques to suit your child’s developing physical and emotional needs as he grows from infancy into toddler-hood. There are also special strokes for premature babies. Finally, Easing Common Problems shows techniques to help alleviate the symptoms of colic, wind, constipation, teething and dry skin, and strategies to deal with fractious crying.

The importance of touch in a child’s emotional, social and physical development is well-documented, and where relevant or illuminating, such information is highlighted in boxes throughout the book to give parents an insight into child psychology. We also reveal the results of research studies, allowing parents the opportunity to draw their own conclusions about what is right for their child.

The loving touch you share with your child through massage will enhance your relationship with him. But more than that, it will give him the security he needs to grow into a happy, confident and emotionally secure adult.
