Raising Children to Thrive: Affect Hunger and Responsive, Sensitive Parenting

In this world of information overload and constant distraction, parents are experiencing an urgent need for best practice models on how to raise their children based on the cutting-edge science of child development. New research shows that infants possess considerable social and emotional capacity to engage their parents in ways that run far deeper than ever before realized.

Throughout Dr. Ron Ruff's nearly fifty years of clinical practice as a psychologist, he encountered thousands of parents with only good intentions to help their children. Unfortunately, many did not know where to turn for information, support, and answers related to raising their children in a psychologically healthy manner.

Responsive, sensitive parenting is more than just a childcare model-it is a new paradigm for parents who are ready to reimagine the nature of the parent-infant relationship, significantly boost their children's social and emotional development, and raise their children to thrive.
