"Attachment Fathering is a parental guide written, and with photography, by Neena Roumell, Ph.D. Roumell’s photographs and text celebrate the intimate relationships enjoyed by fathers and their infants from childbirth on. Her pictures are privy to those special moments when parents and baby first meet, and she helps the reader focus upon the type of communication seen between father and child. Her photographs capture the expressions on newborns’ faces as they interact with their dads. She discusses how having Dad be a familiar presence in those first few days can set the tone for a lifelong relationship between father and child. Likewise, the shared experiences of care-giving, including feeding, changing diapers and play can help fathers understand the cues their baby is giving as it expresses its needs, desires and feelings. Attachment Fathering is an gorgeous and inspirational look at fathering at its best. Her book demonstrates beautifully the role dads can have during the first year of their child’s life. Attachment Fathering is most highly recommended."
