During a diamond-hunting expedition to Venezuela, she came into contact with an indigenous people named the Yequana. Over time she became fascinated with the Yequana, and made a decision to return to Venezuela to live with them.

The Continuum Concept
{{Notability, Neologisms, date=August 2023 The continuum concept is an idea, coined by Jean Liedloff in her 1975 book ''The Continuum Concept'', that human beings have an innate set of expectations (which Liedloff calls the continuum) that our evolution as a species has designed us to meet in order to achieve optimal physical, mental, and emotional development and adaptability. According to Liedloff, in order to achieve this level of development, young humans (especially babies) require the kind of experience to which our species adapted during the long process of our evolution by natural selection. The continuum For infants, the experiences include: *Immediate placement, after birth, in their mothers' arms: Liedloff comments that the common hospital protocol of immediately separating a newborn from its mother may hormonally disrupt the mother, possibly explaining high rates of postpartum depression; *Constant carrying or physical contact with other people (usually their mothers ...

Writers may develop different forms of writing such as novels, short stories, monographs, travelogues, plays, screenplays, teleplays, songs, and essays as well as reports, educational material, and news articles that may be of interest to the general public. Writers' works are nowadays published across a wide range of media.

Baby Sling
A baby sling or baby carrier is a cloth device, usually of adjustable length, used to carry a baby securely against the carrier's body. Slings have been used for millennia. They are usually made of soft fabric, and wrap around the carrier's chest. Slings provide comfort and support for the baby and allow the parent or carer to keep their hands free as they go about their everyday tasks. There are a wide variety of carriers available from wraps and ring slings to soft structured carriers and mei tais. The use of a baby sling has been called babywearing. Types Ring slings These are baby carriers that use dynamic tension, a length of cloth and metal (such as aluminum) or nylon rings. One end of the cloth is sewn to two rings. The cloth wraps around the wearer's body from shoulder to opposite hip and back up to the shoulder, and the end is threaded through the rings to create a buckle effect. The baby sits or lies in the resulting pocket. Once a sling is threaded, it can be t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
