From internationally renowned parenting expert Janet Lansbury, an empowering method for raising confident, independent and resilient children – not by parents doing more, but less.

From trusted infant and childcare expert Janet Lansbury comes an empowering method for raising confident, independent and resilient children – not by parents doing more, but less.

Janet Lansbury’s philosophy is simple: a baby is to be respected and trusted, not constantly managed, fussed over, or taught. In Janet Lansbury's wise and eminently helpful hands, however, this is more than a philosophy – she makes it actionable. At the heart of her method is her compelling ‘baby whisperer’ approach: how to truly understand your baby and have the confidence to support their development, not control it.

Drawing on Lansbury's more than twenty-five years working with families and being a parent herself, Baby Person will help parents deal confidently with the pressure points they face every day – from getting a child to sleep or eat to setting boundaries and from reacting to tantrums to potty training. A guide sure to be cherished by readers everywhere, it will reframe the way a whole generation relates to the little people in their lives, helping them become the calm and emotionally present caregivers they want to be – now, and beyond the tender first few years.

Praise for Baby Person

'This book is impeccably researched but it never feels abstract or unrealistic. With the warmth of a wise friend, Janet Lansbury gives clarity to some of the big parenting conundrums and will help you keep the day moving along in the face of all of the "little things" that come up when caring for a baby. But perhaps even more importantly she walks alongside you in these pages offering gentle reassurance that you are enough.'

Kim John Payne, author of Simplicity Parenting and The Soul of Discipline

'This timely book reminds us that from birth babies are people: already curious, exploring, learning at their own pace, and in their own individual ways. If we step back to observe, listen, and wait before we respond, their unique brilliance will reveal itself to us as it unfolds. Janet Lansbury offers a banquet of practical suggestions and opportunities, not prescriptions, that support this goal – advice that encourages your child’s self-directed discoveries while conserving your parental energy and expanding your joy.'
