the book

Attachment Fathering, a parenting guide, is about how the emotional connections made in the intimacy of nurturing their infants, has enduring effects on both the father and his child. The multicultural images show how babies bring out the father’s sensitivity in reading and responding to their infant’s attachment promoting, facial signals. The images of the mutual exchanges following birth, during comforting and caretaking highlight how sensitive responsiveness to his baby’s cues during the early months of infancy influence the infant-parent relationship. The text and photo is drawn from the research which continues to document the positive effects of early father involvement on child development.

- Midwest Book Review, November 18th 2018
"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."
