Every baby has three wishes: to feel safe, to feel loved and to be respected. Dance with Me in the Heart emphasizes the importance of the early partnership between the parent and the baby and describes how to get things right from the start. It validates all parents who tune in to their baby, who follow what feels right, who follow their hearts.

Dance with Me in the Heart is written for parents and caregivers as a guide to the most important dance in every baby's life: the Partnership Dance," writes author Pennie Brownlee. "Each baby's future rests upon how well this dance is accomplished. Babies are born ready to dance the Partnership Dance, but they can't dance it with us when we have forgotten how the steps go."

Successful intimate relationships are a doorway to health and happiness for human-beings. Not surprisingly, that first relationship with their parents that new babies make sets the scene for every other relationship that follows. The quality of this first relationship determines how the brain physically "wires up" the potential the new infant brings into the world and is the launching pad for the baby as a social being.

This book is a "must have" for all parents and those working with parents and young children. It is the culmination of years of experiences and research, drawing upon the wisdom of Joseph Chilton Pearce and Dr. Emmi Pikler.
