Mayim Bialik was the child star of the popular 1990s TV
sitcom Blossom, but she definitely didn’t follow the typical
child-star trajectory. Instead, Mayim got her PhD in
neuroscience from UCLA, married her college sweetheart, and
had two kids. Mayim then did what many new moms do—she read
a lot of books, talked with other parents, and she soon
started questioning a lot of the conventional wisdom she
heard about the “right” way to raise a child. That’s when
she turned to attachment parenting, a philosophy and
lifestyle popularized by well-known physicians like Dr.
William Sears and Dr. Jay Gordon. To Mayim, attachment parenting’s natural, child-led approach
not only felt right emotionally, it made sense
intellectually and instinctually. She found that when she
followed her intuition and relaxed into her role as a mother
instead of following some rigid parenting script, both she
and her children thrived. Drawing on both her experience as
a mother and her scientific background, Mayim presents the
major tenets of attachment parenting, including: CO-SLEEPING How to avoid “sleep training” and get a great night’s sleep
for the whole family. BREASTFEEDING Learn how to listen to your baby’s cues rather than sticking
to a rigid schedule—and why people on airplanes love a
nursing mother. BABY WEARING How to “wear” your baby in a sling or a wrap to develop a
closer bond with your child—it’s possible even for mamas
with bad backs (and with big babies)! GENTLE DISCIPLINE How to get your child to behave without
yelling, threats, or time-outs—it really can be done. Mayim describes the beauty, simplicity, and purposefulness
of attachment parenting, and how it has become the guiding
principle for her family. Much more than a simple how-to
parenting guide, Beyond the Sling shows us that the core
principles underlying attachment parenting are universal and
can be appreciated no matter how you decide to raise your child.
