This early parenting manual is written to help supplement—rather than supersede—the natural development of children from birth to age three. The author presents the advice, theories, and findings of early childhood development experts in order to address topics such as prenatal stimulation, the baby’s sensory world, teaching a child a foreign language, the role that pets and toys can play in a baby’s development, and more. With an abundance of useful information, this book ensures that infants and toddlers will get off to the best start possible, both physically and intellectually.
