Although we have never met in person, just corresponding with Mayim via e-mail and reading her blog posts on Kveller.com, she is someone I truly admire. She is such a proud Jewess and is so open and honest about her personal journey in Yiddishkeit.
Yes, she is on a HUGE hit TV show, The Big Bang Theory. Yes, she was the star of the HUGE hit TV show, Blossom. She goes to the Emmy Awards and has Paparazzi snapping photos of her... but what I love about Mayim is that her first and foremost focus is her family, her kids. Which brings me to this fabulous Giveaway which she has so graciously agreed to be a part of.
Beyond the Sling is a book that Mayim wrote about raising and loving kids the Attachment Parenting way.
What I love about how Mayim wrote this book is that she says straight out that not all her solutions will be right for every family. No matter how you birth your baby, feed your baby, carry your baby, or educate your baby, Beyond the Sling goes beyond the labels and perceptions about how certain parenting styles have to look, which I find to be very liberating.
A huge part of Attachment Parenting is about understanding your child’s needs, your needs, and the basics of human development -- an attachment that will stay with you no matter what style of parenting you draw on.
I love many aspects of Attachment Parenting and have incorporated many of them (without even knowing it had a name "Attachment Parenting") into the way we raise our kids. The relationships you develop with your kids is just phenomenal. Its not about the parent being the boss or the disciplinarian. Its about developing this incredible relationship with your kids where there is this trust and mutual respect that is just priceless.
I can go on and on about this book, but let me get to the Giveaway already:)

Hello! I love your blog! I liked Jewish Montessori Activities and The Official Mayim Bialik Page on Facebook. Thanks for offering this book as a give-a-way.
ReplyDeleteAlready a FB fan of the official Mayim Bialik page. I've been waiting for the library to get her book. Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the book!
ReplyDeleteI would simply love to read this book because I love to learn. I love to see and experience other people's ideas. I know I would find it totally fascinating. Thanks!! Candy Chewning
ReplyDeleteI do agree with Mayim Bialik on the point that all parents were born to be the best parents for their kids. I estimate her input in parenting as that by which we can learn. I'd love to read her book and pick up some ideas for me and my baby.
ReplyDeleteBest regards,
Svetlana
I join Mayim, Mrs. Obama and all other women out there in promoting breastfeeding.Nothing is better for our kids.
ReplyDeleteAs long as in the country I live in doctors' opinion used to be imposed for decades, I feel lack of knowledge and need to learn how to get free from "dogmas", as for the time being I do that instinctively. That's why I'd love to have this book.
Sincerely,
Svetlana
Another entry!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this great book by a fabulous lady. I love her fb page and admire her as a woman and mother. And as a plus April 25 th is my birthday so the book would be a super present! Anna Haggerty
ReplyDeleteIt would be neat to read her book. I have been inspired by a few of her thoughts as she's contributed to kveller. I love that there is a voice out there for all parents trying to be as in tune with their children and those relationships as they can be. Miriam
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons why I'd love to read this book is that the author has a background in neuroscience, which means Mayim Bialik can see, describe and help us understand basic processes connected closely to breastfeeding, pregnancy and labor. It's an objective look from aside.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. We love Big Bang Theory in this house. I did not even know she had written a book. I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteAnd...another entry!
ReplyDeleteI liked yours and Mayims page a while ago. I would love to win this book Anna Haggerty
ReplyDeleteI want this book so bad. I truly admire Mayim and he parenting philosophies. If I don't win the giveaway, I'm asking for it for Mothers Day! :)
ReplyDeleteAurora
Another entry, here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteI admire the fact that Mayim does not impose her views on parenting on others, she just suggests certain ways out and describes basic processes from the point of science and her own experience. No matter what paradigm you stick to,you'll find some useful tips for yourself in this book.At least I'd love to!
ReplyDeleteSincerely yours,
Svetlana

ReplyDeleteOh how I would love to win that book - I find Mayim's perspective on parenting so interesting, I have spent my entire morning catching up on her blog and checking out interviews about her book on youtube. I better get out of my pjs now and start my day lol.
