Babies are naturally active, dynamic learners—and parents can help their infant's learning process flourish by giving the child steady, unconditional love, care, stimulation for the senses, and encouragement. A noted child psychologist offers moms and dads advice, information, and guidelines on child development from birth to age 15 months. An opening chapter covers topics that include birth order and how it affects personality, gender differences, the role of grandparents, crying, feeding and weaning, sleeping patterns, and more. General development charts follow this opening discussion. Subsequent chapters provide detailed information on how an infant's body movement develops, hand-eye coordination, early language development, learning skills and activities, and the child's early social and emotional development. This attractive, heavily illustrated book is filled with sidebar tips, reference charts, and delightful full-color photos on every page.

Bright Toddler: Understand and Stimulate Your Child's Development

An expert on child development helps moms and dads understand their baby's first efforts at speech and other ways of communicating. In Small Talk, Dr. Woolfson reviews a typical child's speech development from birth to age three. From the start, babies convey messages through cries and gurgles, then through eye contact, facial expressions, and body language. By 5 to 6 months, a baby will make an increasing number of vowel and consonant sounds that resemble words, and between 9 and 12 months, will begin saying simple words such as "dada" and "mama." Between the baby's first and second birthdays, vocabularies grow rapidly, and toddlers begin speaking in simple sentences. Beyond age two, speech patterns include asking questions and giving instructions. Doctor Woolfson emphasizes that verbal and visual stimulation from parents plays a vital role in their child's speech development and listening comprehension, and he recommends story-telling and picture books as fine starting points. As toddlers get a little older, socializing with their peers is also vital to help them develop a wide range of communication skills. This valuable book of advice is filled with color photos and informative sidebars and charts.

Small Talk: From First Gestures to Simple Sentences

Between ages two and a half and five, a child's development progresses at an astounding pace—but there is still much that parents can do to help the process along. Kids look for parents' stimulation and guidance to boost their confidence, strengthen learning skills, improve hand-eye coordination, and enhance all-around physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development. A noted child psychologist offers parents expert advice on helping children achieve their full potential. Development charts show information at a glance, summarizing average development between ages two and a half through five. Succeeding chapters focus on body movement, hand-eye coordination, language development, learning skills, and social and emotional development. This color-illustrated and handsomely produced book also features enlightening sidebars that summarize important points in the text and present advice in capsule form.
