The bond between a baby and its parents is the most important and beautiful relationship in life. It begins in the womb and continues after birth through interaction. In a world where everything is new and unfamiliar, babies need to feel recognition, goodwill, safety, and comfort.

The first year of life is particularly crucial for this. The nature of the bond, whether the baby is securely or insecurely attached to its parents, is largely determined by the parents. In their book, Manuela Apitzsch and Marie Papenkort demonstrate how to foster a healthy bond between parents and child, providing young parents with many pieces of advice and valuable tips.
