Book Reviews of What's Going on in There? : How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life
Book Review: Getting a view of where that littlle one is coming from
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the American edition but was the only one actually published at time of order. It still arrived to the door within 2 days. We got it to see where the 21 month toddler is coming from and it certainly does that. It doesnt pretend to be a Noddy's guide and its scientifically impressive. It could be a bit offputting, but if you have read any popular science stuff, it isnt. If you haven't read any, its a good start as the subject matter is a bit closer to home than the cosmos, evolution theory or the like. The focus really is on the child and not in an abstract way but with a focus on real examples. Any parent will be going "oh right, now I see" within pages. Because the science part is so clearly written by an involved mother, the conclusions and opinions it carries have a lot of weight. I hadn't realised that there would be so much prebirth material in as the title would suggest otherwise, but its still fascinating stuff.You wont read it at a sitting but will come back to it again and again.
