Journalist and mom Chelsea Conaboy reviewed the latest scientific research and interviewed many moms and dads. The result is a book that will change the way you think about parenting.

What does it mean to be a parent? How does “maternal instinct” work and does it appear automatically? How does the birth of a child affect us emotionally, psychologically and physiologically?

Preparing to become a mother, Chelsea was sure that motherhood was the joy of communicating with the baby, as well as physical fatigue from lack of sleep and a lot of things to do. However, she did not at all expect the global changes that happened to her at the level of thoughts and feelings. Her brain changed.

She studied a huge amount of scientific information and interviewed many parents. The result is a book through which you will learn:

– how and why hormones restructure the brains of parents;

– whether these changes are reversible and whether it is possible to adapt to them;

The science of the neurobiology of parenting is just in its infancy. And this important book will change your view of raising children.

Who is this book for?

For parents.

For everyone who is used to a conscious approach to everything that happens in his life, including such an important stage as the birth of children, and strives to thoroughly understand everything.

Published in Russian for the first time.
