Rest, Play, Development

Deborah MacNamara's book "Rest, Play, Development" — the third book in the "Newfeld Institute Library" series, continues to explore the model of personality development based on Gordon Newfeld's attachment theory. The theme of the book is preschool-age children. Without exaggeration,... Deborah MacNamara has written a comprehensive guide for parents on how to understand the essence of children's inner world. By showing that the preschool age plays a crucial role in the development of relational capacity, she addresses the immaturity inherent in children of this age — one of the most ignored and misunderstood concepts — not as a flaw requiring immediate correction, but as part of the developmental design.
