Book Reviews of How Smart Is Your Baby?: Develop And Nurture Your Newborn's Full Potential (Gentle Revolution)
Book Review: Wrong Title :(
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm expecting my first child in 8 weeks and received this book (and How to teach your baby encylopedic knowledge) from my brother. At first I was highly sceptical because of the title. I expected it to be a book about pushing children into areas of skill or expertise at the worst or performing endless tests so a parent can brag to neighbours about how intelligent their child is at the best. How wrong I was and how delighted I am that my clever brother gave me these books.
The idea of the book IS to use testing on your baby, but not for bragging rights. Tests include things like eye constriction monitoring (at the start of the babies life) to balance monitoring (a month or two later). The aim of the tests is to see where along the route of NATURAL human progression the child is so we can spot anything suspect and fix it so the child doesn't lag behind its own best potential. (If a childs eyes aren't responding efficiently to light then they aren't going to be able to see fine images properly and hence be slow developing reading. If their hearing isn't great then they aren't going to be able to speak properly or develop language correctly)
With regards to the book itself-it is an easy to understand book in a pleasing format. Topics/tests build upon each other and the reasons for them are explained easily. A number of tools are required to perform some aspects, but all are cheap to make and instructions are given in very good detail. I haven't started yet but I'm looking forward to collecting the pictures of butterflies and ladybugs that the book suggest.
Any parent who loves their child and wants to take an active role in developing them, instead of letting it happen by accident, will like this book too.
