The need of a children to be with their mother, to make Mommie share their experiences, to find a warm place in her arms and to get much needed encouragement, warmth and security, is a natural need which actually never fades away. Those moments when a child goes to sleep and asks mommie to stay just a little bit longer are known to every parent. We can all identify with the situation. The psychologist James Mann coined the term Mommie Time in the clinical context as representing an infinite amount of time of the unconscious, a feeling that we have all the time in the world. When we get Mommie Time we get non-verbal comprehension, Mommie calming us and making order, all at once. When children feel that they are understood, they can dive into that pool of infinite time and feel loved and protected: everything will be OK, nothing is impossible. In their innermost selves, children know that the ritual of bedtime has to come to its end. There is a limit. Mommie will eventually leave the room, but... maybe she can stay just a little bit longer? Children will always try to get a little more Mommie Time... The book describes spontaneous moments, little moments of quality time in the daily bedtime routine, the opportunity of children to get special attention with Mommie listening and accepting their world. Children and parents will find in this book an expression of these moments, of the desire to have Mommie stay just a little bit longer...
