Synopsis"The Wonder Weeks. How to stimulate your babys mental development and help him turn his 10 predictable, great, fussy phases into magical leaps forward" describes in easy-to-understand terms the incredible developmental changes that all babies go through during the first 20 months of their lives. This is the extended, "fat" edition with 2 more chapters covering 2 more leaps in the mental development of your baby up to the end of the sensorimotor period.The book is based on the discovery of a little known phenomenon: all normal, healthy babies appear to be more tearful, troublesome, demanding and clingy at very nearly the same ages. These age-related fluctuations in need for body contact and attention are related to major and quite dramatic changes in the brains of the children. These changes enable a baby to enter a whole new perceptual world and, as a consequence, to learn many new skills. This should be a reason for celebration, but as far as the baby is concerned these changes are bewildering. Hes taken aback -- everything has changed overnight. It is as if he has woken up on a strange planet. The book includes: - Week-by-week guide to babys behavior - An explanation of the markers for cranky, clingy, crying (the three Cs) behavior and how to deal with them - A description from your babys perspective of the world around him and how you can understand the changes hes going through - Fun games and gentle activities you can do with your child The book offers parents: - Support in times of trouble- Self-confidence- Help in understanding their baby- Hints on how to help their baby play and learn- A unique account of their babys developmentFor more detailed information about contents and the research behind the book, please visit www.thewonderweeks.com
This is a really good price for a great book. Helps with knowing each phase your kid is going through, what to expect, and how to deal with it. Comes with ideas for encouraging development as well.
