The Infant, The Toddler and Beyond

This book gives you all the information you need from birth until your child enters nursery school.

The first 1000 days of life are important, and you will see a variety of changes your child goes through during this period. It is fun, and also challenging. The way children are handled, directed and allowed to interact with people during this period is of great significance to their future development.

In recent years there has been a great deal of research into the psychological and intellectual development of the child. The infant has been found to respond to mental and physical stimulation from the first few weeks of life. Many experts have also come to the conclusion that most, if not all, future abilities are influenced by the child's experiences during the first three years of life. Much can be done to stimulate children's innate capabilities so that they can develop their potential fully.

Like all parents you want your child to function well, achieve some success in life and be happy and well adjusted, but you may be confused about how to achieve this goal. The way we can interact with our child in a mutually beneficial way becomes clearer if we know something about how a baby develops.
