Book Description
The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Creating Compassionate Kids: Essential Conversations to Have with Young Children
Author: Shauna Tominey
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393711609
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Selected as a "Favorite Book for Parents in 2019" by Greater Good. Young children can surprise us with tough questions. Tominey’s essential guide teaches us how to answer them and foster compassion along the way. If you had to choose one word to describe the world you want children to grow up in, what would it be? Safe? Understanding? Resilient? Compassionate? As parents and caregivers of young children, we know what we want for our children, but not always how to get there. Many children today are stressed by academic demands, anxious about relationships at school, confused by messages they hear in the media, and overwhelmed by challenges at home. Young children look to the adults in their lives for everything. Sometimes we’re prepared... sometimes we’re not. In this book, Shauna Tominey guides parents and caregivers through how to have conversations with young children about a range of topics-from what makes us who we are (e.g., race, gender) to tackling challenges (e.g., peer pressure, divorce, stress) to showing compassion (e.g., making friends, recognizing privilege, being a helper). Talking through these topics in an age-appropriate manner—rather than telling children they are too young to understand—helps children recognize how they feel and how they fit in with the world around them. This book provides sample conversations, discussion prompts, storybook recommendations, and family activities. Dr. Tominey's research-based strategies and practical advice creates dialogues that teach self-esteem, resilience, and empathy: the building blocks for a more compassionate world.

Empty Cradle, Broken Heart

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Grieving the death of a baby is a heart-wrenching journey. Whether your baby died during pregnancy, around birth, or in infancy, Empty Cradle, Broken Heart is a gentle guide that will accompany you. Full of information and practical suggestions, this book can help you accept the variety and depth of your emotions; find answers to questions such as "What's normal?" and "Why me?"; make sense of your grief and mourning; cultivate mutual understanding with your partner; tap into sources of support; and adopt mindfulness-based coping strategies that can help you heal your heart. Most importantly, you'll be comforted by the words of dozens of bereaved parents. By hearing from mothers and fathers who have walked this path, you can establish realistic expectations for grieving, find reassurance, and truly understand that you are not alone. This fourth edition has been completely revised and updated, with new information on the neuroscience of this experience plus other insights including how your brain encodes your bond with your baby as everlasting; grieving explained in terms of your brain redrawing its neural map; how your brain tries to settle the dispute between your baby being gone, but also everlasting; the various experiences of being in survival mode and thriving mode around your baby's life and death; how your brain processes and heals from traumatic bereavement; the pitfalls and benefits of rumination; the relationship skill of repair; and reducing your distress with mindfulness practices and informal rituals. "When my tiny baby died during my pregnancy, I was plunged into a grief I did not understand, one that threatened to swallow me whole. Empty Cradle, Broken Heart was a lifeline. Now, a decade after I sat fresh in my grief, scribbling notes and dog-earing pages, Davis releases this latest edition. New stories join with the old, a chorus of bereaved parents' voices rising strong. Davis matches their timbre with knowledge that is equal parts comforting and empowering. And while this latest edition reflects the modern evolution in how we collectively and inclusively approach pregnancy loss, Davis's words also hold firm what has been and what always will be true: we grieve better when we grieve together." —Rachel Lewis, author of Unexpecting: Real Talk on Pregnancy Loss "Empty Cradle, Broken Heart offers compassionate support for bereaved parents in the aftermath of the unimaginable heartbreak that is perinatal loss. This comprehensive resource helps grieving parents navigate complex emotions while also offering practical tools for honoring their grief." —Jessica Zucker, PhD, psychologist and author of the award-winning book I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, a Movement
