poor parental relationships, etc., are increasingly being diagnosed as having an attachment disorder. Though having a

| Article Title :: Give Her a Hand!! |
| |
| Your best friend or sister just performed a miraculous feat…she gave birth! Yea, let’s all give her a hand!! No really, I mean let’s give her a hand…a helping hand. Because all new moms (unless they have a full time nanny and maid staff) need help. Your friend will soon realize that her newborn needs constant care, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Needless to say, in a 24/7 clock, it’s hard to squeeze in time for the kinds of activities that keep a woman sane, like walking, getting her hair done or taking a yoga class, not to mention, showering, eating and sleeping!
