        How Parents Can Strengthen the Bond with Their Child and Make It Easier to Start Daycare

        by Fabienne Hesse (Author), Martina Zemp (Ed.)

        The decision to have their child looked after at a daycare center outside the family triggers uncertainty among many parents. They ask themselves if, how long and how often their child should be cared for at daycare and what they need to consider for a successful daycare attendance. This book is aimed at parents and other caregivers of children who are preparing for or already attending daycare. It is intended to support the entire family in strengthening the parent-child bond and make the transition to daycare easier. The book is divided into two parts: attachment and daycare entry. The attachment part highlights the concept of attachment and explains how to strengthen parental sensitivity to foster a secure child attachment. The daycare part describes the key elements of good daycare, how to prepare the child for daycare, what aspects should be considered during the settling-in, drop-off and pick-up periods as well as the cooperation with daycare staff.
