This was another book I really enjoyed. There was a lot of science and research behind the information, which is always encouraging, especially in a family of science nerds. I also really liked how the author focuses on practical tips for what the parent should actually DO with the information. She gives ideas for very manageable games to play and activities to do with babies and young children that take advantage of the developmental research. It is very reader friendly and un-intimidating.
Some Take Home Messages:
Notes: most of the information I have read other places, but the scientific evidence to back them up is reassuring, as well as the practical applications.
- Face to face, direct interaction with babies is critical
- No screen, audio or toy can replicate the benefits of directly interacting with caregivers
- Focused attention, strong bonding moments and development of communication encompass all early learning
