How Smart Is Your Baby?: Develop and Nurture Your Newborn's Full Potential

The first months after birth are vital to the long-term well-being of a child. Yet parents do not have the information they need to make their baby’s life as stimulating as it should be. How Smart Is Your Baby? provides parents with all the information required to help their baby achieve full potential. The authors first explain infant growth, and then guide parents in creating a home environment that enhances brain development. A developmental profile allows parents to track their child’s progress, determine strengths, and recognize where additional stimulation is needed.
