He also could make a bond with just about any parent all over the world. We used to have Brazelton Rounds on the Infant and Toddler ward and we would present cases to him and he would do an evaluation of the child in front of all the residents and nurses.

It wasn&#8217;t until later in my own career however that I&#8217;ve come to realize how vital his perspective was to both his students and others willing to listen and learn from him. Yes, we used to say that Dr. Brazelton could &#8220;talk to babies,&#8221; but what he really understood&#8212;going far beyond what Piaget had argued&#8212;was that children are unique beings, influenced and affected by the actions and behaviors of adults,&nbsp;and never simply smaller versions of adults. It took a personality such as his and a true love for the wise things children do that made it so possible for him to be in tune with the feelings and the vulnerabilities of children, and I honestly believe that somewhere in that was the kernel of what we now read, research,&nbsp;and speak about concerning the developing brain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;He taught me to be amazed at the richness of non-verbal communication in infants, and the beauty in the logic of emerging language in toddlers and children.

He was one of my first attendings when I was a new intern and he was approaching 50. Without a doubt the most magical, mesmerizing, magnetic person with babies that I have seen or ever will see. The picture at the top of the attached article is exactly how babies and young children responded to Berry. He helped found the field of developmental behavioral pediatrics and quantified it with things like the Brazelton Scale of Development, but his greatest contribution was as a world spokesman for pediatrics to the public, filling the space previously occupied by Benjamin Spock.&nbsp;For the many years when I was a Gen Peds attending, I always used to have Berry come for rounds and just examine a baby. I would put a sheet on the floor and Berry and the baby (usually the orneriest one I could find) on the floor together with the rest of us seated on the perimeter watching his exam. He would inevitably tame the crying child in seconds and then, pulling objects from his pockets, proceed to demonstrate a developmental exam on the mesmerized child.

His smile lit up a room. His warmth radiated across our fellowship classroom. His compassion permeated to remind us all that we were there to help, never judge, parents who are faced with the challenges of raising infants\u2014be that the routine highs and lows of parenting heathy infants, to the more profound ache and worry carried by families with premature infants. The New York Times says Berry made babies the center of his universe. I would say his center was the Family. And when Berry visited our Parent-Infant Mental Health Fellowship sessions in 2011-2013, always delivered with great care, adoration, and deep reverence by Ed Tronick, his presence was a gift beyond measure. To have learned from Berry was to be both enlightened and impassioned. To have known Berry was one of the greatest honors of my life. Pictured below is a nervous me, presenting my final project focused on how to bridge the gap between the NICU and Home for families, with Berry front and center. His feedback was kind, thoughtful, complimentary. In our short Q&amp;A discussion, he went right to the heart of why this matters and how to get it done. His wheels immediately turned and he transported my ideas out of power point and planted them squarely into a doable hospital program. That\u2019s when I knew my basic developmental science truly had a home in pediatrics. Berry\u2019s mind moved swiftly from the intellectual to the pragmatic; from ideas to action. And today, my heart is broken. The world will not soon see a scholar, physician, or human being with as much infectious care of others as Berry. I think those are the right words\u2014Berry Brazelton\u2019s care for others was as infectious as his beautiful, warm smile. He leaves behind a legacy of scholars, physicians, and clinicians who have learned to make families with babies the center of their universe and to do so \u201cfrom the start\u201d. I could never thank him enough for teaching me that I not only have permission to call early caregiving my science\u2014my science demands his level of care. &#8211; <\/em><strong>Amie A.

Berry shaped my thinking, my work and my personal and professional development. He had a major impact on me as I raised my son, a young child with disabilities.Berry was a true friend, role model and inspirational force for all my efforts. He defended undauntedly the competence of each newborn, each infant and each parent, of all human beings; he valued and brought out the strengths and talents in everyone, everyone\u2019s true goal for good. He taught us that at times it shows itself in unusual, distorted and easily misunderstood ways. Yet recognizing and articulating the underlying desire for good allows it to emerge. Berry made it all our challenge to find the strengths in ourselves and in others and to ally ourselves with that strength in order to help build our joint better futures from there.May his passing reaffirm you all in your chosen paths for bettering the lives of the smallest, often sickest, and most vulnerable newborns and their families in this world. &#8211; <\/em><strong>Heidelise Als, PhD ,Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry; Harvard Medical School<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Words cannot express my sense of loss. &nbsp;I worked with and learned from Berry for 24 years. &nbsp;In a short video for ZERO TO THREE\u2019s 40th Anniversary this past December (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.proofpoint.com\/v2\/url?u=https-3A__vimeo.com_259976644&amp;d=DwMD-g&amp;c=qS4goWBT7poplM69zy_3xhKwEW14JZMSdioCoppxeFU&amp;r=E_P4Nd3lW5Mvtnt1zeX4tKe-vWGkcDRfDu0NcFcFMNWWi1KgdfcIofJ9Un03fJ9-&amp;m=oeOiuiI69Lcn6Vopdwk1S-dhjhiZbiv67AdSp2QxF2E&amp;s=7rGv3PoeyrKKnuvQo36xNsNKzIZ9xexVqqurpzc6OeE&amp;e=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>https:\/\/vimeo.com\/259976644<\/em><\/a><em>) Berry taped a special message, included at the end, where he invited all of us to celebrate his birthday with him this April.&nbsp; We will now celebrate his life and all that he has meant to us as a leader, pediatrician, advocate, mentor and friend. &#8211; <\/em><strong>Matthew E.
