Can singing a song or blowing a dandelion under a toddler's nose help her mind to blossom? Can your baby count, remember events and solve problems even before he can talk? According to the authors of this remarkable book BABY MINDS, the answer to both questions is YES! Recent research has revealed the extraordinary inborn abilities of infants. How experiences during the first years of life profoundly influence intelligence, creativity, language development - and later on, reading and maths skills. Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn - both psychologists and child development experts - have created a guide for parents based on the most up-to-date knowledge of how babies discover the world. It includes over 65 games and activities that babies instinctively love and these will help develop their brainpower and social skills and make the daily interaction with your child more enjoyable - for both their brainpower and social skills and make the daily interaction with your child more enjoyable-for both of you.
