A funny, honest, and practical guide to attachment parenting from actress, mother, and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik.

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.

Много двоелуний назад, занимаясь учеными трудами, Лессек, один из сенаторов Лариона, острова в море, омывающем западное побережье некогда великого государства Элдарн, открыл маленькую щель во Вселенной, крохотное окошко, соединяющее миры. И сам же, того не ведая, высвободил страшную силу, самую сущность зла, возникшую по недосмотру богов в первые времена Творения. Зло, проникнув сквозь эту щель и меняя свои обличья, пытается овладеть тайным знанием, сосредоточенным в магическом рисунке на рабочем столе Лессека. Ибо обладающий этим знанием способен выпустить на волю все мировое зло, и во Вселенной не останется ничего живого.

Nerak us defeated. Steven Taylor has cast the malevolent dictator's soul into the Fold's inky void - but the evil that controlled Nerak and brutalised the people of Eldarn has escaped, and taken Mark Jenkins with it. Steven must put his feelings to one side, for Eldarn's fate still hangs in the balance, and he remains the land's only real hope.
As hr and his companions make their way across country, rallying what remains of their allies, Mark, no longer the affable teacher from Colorado, disappears into the foothills of the Blackstone Mountains, determined to excvate the Larion spell table and use its awesome power to destor Eldarn.
During an epic sea hourney to the enemy strongholds of northern Malakasia, Steven discovers he is stronger than he thought, but a confrontation with Mark is inevitable...Is Steven willing to kill his best friend and face eternal exile in Eldarn to save two wrolds from annihilation?

The Larion spell table has been dormant for nearly a thousand Twinmoons. It waits in a forgotten chamber in Sandcliff Palace, the abandoned Larion Senate stronghold on Eldarn's North Sea. The spell table holds the power to see the people of the 5 lands safely through the oppression and brutality that have haunted them for generations, but without Lessek's key it is a worthless slab of granite. Unfortunately for Steven Taylor—the would-be sorcerer from Colorado—he overlooked the nondescript key the night he fell through the far portal into Eldarn. Now Steven must race across American to retrieve the key and free Eldarn's people rests, but Nerak—the fallen Larion dictator—is hot on his heels. If he fails, the lives of untold millions will be lost forever.

Steven Taylor is an assistant bank manager in a quiet little town, and his roommate Mark Jenkins is a high school history teacher. Steven is bored with his job and the thought of going through all the accounts that haven't had a single transaction in the past 25 years sounds even more boring—until he discovers the account of an old prospector who left $17,000 in October 1870—now worth $6.3 million dollars—along with an unopened safe deposit box. Finding the box’s long-lost key and opening it leads Steven and Mark into the land of Rona in the strange new world of Eldarn, where they are immediately captured by a group of resistance fighters. Rona has been occupied by Malakasia for nearly a thousand Twinmoons. An evil tyrant rules the land, but he wants more, in particular the key that will open the path for an ancient evil to manifest itself once and for all. Worse still, it is this same key that Steven and Mark will need if they are ever to get home.
