About this listen

This guide, written and narrated by developmental psychologist Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, introduces listeners to attachment - babies' innate need to know that someone will share their fears and joys. It uses the analogy of "Sabre Tooth Tigers and Teddy Bears" to make attachment theory understandable for everyone. As one of the quotes from the audiobook puts it: "People frequently ask how come no one tells them about this stuff? This is an attempt to do just that".

This is the second edition of the book, released in April 2020, and has been updated and revised since the first edition in 2013. The guide is written in a style suited to both personal and professional interests. Parents will find the information in it as relevant to their lives as do childcare staff, teachers, health visitors, business leaders and anyone else who works with people.

I have the book but decided to try the audible version as I was intrigued. It felt like I was having the book read to "me" just like when you're wee & someone reads you a story. There is a different sort of connection which feels somehow more intimate. There is so much interesting information which is easy to understand and relevant to everyone. It is one those books that leaves you looking at life through a different lens.

A book that everyone would enjoy and learn from

This book is very interesting, understanding our life can be traced back to how we were treated as an new born infant.
Although there are many other factors hidden within this, it gives you a jump start to those newly becoming parent’s.

Must read for anyone related to the human race.

Enlighten knowledge of life

I'm really glad Dr Suzanne Zeedyk narrated this herself, there is a lovely cadence to this listen. She explains the science of connection and attachment very simply, and weaves in real life stories throughout. Wonderful, thank you Connected Baby
