Book Reviews of Baby Minds: Brain-Building Games Your Baby Will Love
Book Review: Interesting and Useful
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this book as a gift and read it practically cover to cover right away. It was really fun getting a peek into how research with babies works. It's amazing what they've found out babies can do. I also like the fact that the authors never forget the importance of the emotional side of everything. They emphasize that the games they describe are good ways to connect with a baby and that a warm relationship is the most effective way to help a baby learn. This book is a great choice for anyone with a child under the age of 3. I recommend it highly.Book Review: Grandpas will love this book too
Summary: 5 Stars
Baby Minds is a great book for anyone who has ever wondered what's going on inside their baby's or their grandchild's head and I'm sure that is just about everyone. The book is full of surprising things that researchers have discovered. I'd bet most adults have no idea, for example, that even 6 month-olds know something about adding and subtracting, or that they can remember things for incredibly long periods of time. After highlighting specific examples, the authors tie these remarkable skills to games parents and grandparents can play with their babies, not only to stimulate them intellectually, but also just to have fun. Grandpas will love it too.Book Review: A great gift for new parents
Summary: 4 Stars
As a new father, I can recommend this book to other new parents interested in learning more about how learning and memory development works, and how much fun playing with your baby can be. This book will help you enjoy play-time even more, in that it demonstrates that children learn and develop best when doing just what they naturally want to do-play and laugh with us.
If you have friends with a new baby, this book will make a nice gift they will remember you for.
Book Review: Very well put together
Summary: 5 Stars
Great collection of child development activities for little ones! I loved the quick-reference at the back of the book too. As a speech pathologist doing transdisciplinary therapy, I'll recommend this to many parents.Book Review: A smart baby is a good Citizen
Summary: 4 Stars
Teach your baby's mind to develop using the techniques in this book. Don't underestimate that importance of reacting to the Fast-Growth early stages of the infant mind. This book will help ANYONE to teach your baby to learn better.
