"This observational tool and handbook, complete with four-color photographs by a Pulitzer prize-winning photographer, gives clinicians a systematic way to help parents respond with confidence to their newborn's individual needs - and build a positive parent-professional relationship in the process." "An essential resource from the co-author of Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS), J. Kevin Nugent, and his colleagues, this system is just what clinicians in hospital, clinic, or home settings need to help new mothers and fathers get to know their baby, increase their confidence and competence as parents, and support their child's growth and development."--BOOK JACKET.
