Smart-Wiring Your Baby's Brain: What You Can Do to Stimulate Your Child During the Critical First Three Years

Rating:
Summary: What a disappointment!
Review: I had such high hopes for this book, but found myself sorely disappointed. Yes, it's a quick read (as one of the other reviews noted) -- that's because there's hardly any information in it! It basically offers the information one could find in just about any issue of just about any mainstream baby or parenting magazine: that children's intelligence is a combination of nature and nurture and that to maximize your child's brain development you should offer them a loving, stimulating environment. ... I find it difficult to imagine that any parent motivated enough to buy this book doesn't already know all that. There seemed to be very little practical advice (certainly almost nothing beyond what one could glean from common sense and a cursory reading of a few elementary magazine articles).

In short, spend your money on something else. Maybe a book to read with your baby...

Review: This book is a quick read and wonderful for getting started on learning how to help your child develop into the best person they can be.

This book deals with the first three years of your child's life. It gives you ideas from playing with your children to sending your child to music classes. It breaks down the types of learning and how best to incorporate all into your child's daily activity. It also helps to break down the activities that are best for you child at certain ages.

I definitely suggest this book for parents beginning guide to the development of a child's learning processes.

This is also a great book for the parent who says they do not have enough time to read anything regarding their new baby. It is a quick read and very educational.

Summary: Great book for all new parents
Review: This book is terrific! A very quick read (especially important for new parents!) and full of very valuable information. This book is great because of the clear cut advice and practical, specific suggestions for enriching your child's early development.

Many of the suggestions are simple and easy to do, but will make a big difference in the lives of your children. Written with a respect for children that is often lacking in the way people tend to treat young children. This book is not about pushing your child to get perfect test scores. It shows how raise a child that is happy and secure who will want to pursue knowledge and creativity on their own.
