Baby E.D. The Enriched Development Program is an easy-to-use, comprehensive program for enriching a child's intellectual development from birth to age two. It has been compiled from the latest findings of researchers in the field of early childhood development, and it consists of a 208-pg illustrated manual (6x9"), accompanied by a 24-month activities calendar (8x11"). It addresses the subjects of bonding, physical contact, massage, swimming and exercise, spoiling, nutrition, language, music, reading, math, and educational play for the first two years of life. It teaches parents and other caregivers how to provide age-appropriate stimulation without pushing for a SuperBaby.
The manual includes a table of contents, complete bibliography, extensive index, 40 illustrations, and over 100 suggested activities. The illustrated calendar serves as a convenient quick-reference for those activities.
When author Lilah LeBouef first became pregnant two-and-a-half years ago, she received a flood of magazines, brochures, books, and videos emphasizing the importance of the formative years. Although it was clear that the first few years were critical to a baby's development, it was difficult to determine specifically what should and should not be done at any given age. An exhaustive search for an existing product on the market led her to frustration. She then committed herself to unearthing the details and compiling it herself. The more information she found, the more she realized the benefit of this information for all children, which led her to write this program. She is now very excited to make this valuable information available to everyone who is privileged to influence the life of a child.
