Book Reviews of What's Going on in There? : How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life
Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've got to say I LOVE this book! I am a postpartum doula and I'm always looking for information to share with the moms I see. This has it all. Now I not only can show them the Babinski reflex, but explain how the brain has changed when the reflex changes. There's so much in here I'm sharing with moms. Just can't say enough about this book.Book Review: great neuro develoment book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book details the neurologic development of a baby, from fetal to early years. It is written by a mom in lay language that an educated person will easily understand yet gives depth that a professional will appreciate.Book Review: Great Book, if you have a scientific background.
Summary: 3 Stars
This author is obviously very knowledgeable and the subject matter is extremely interesting. I learned a lot about my baby's brain development and even why he behaves as he does sometimes (for example, why no separation anxiety when they are young, but then LOTS of separation anxiety when they are older - It is all biology!). Fascinating.
BUT . . be warned that this is a very scientifically written book, almost like a medical textbook. Unless you are in the medical profession, you should read with a medical dictionary beside you. I missed a LOT of information because I do not have a science background.
I wonder why the author did not include a Glossary at the back? It would have been very helpful.
Book Review: Amazing help to those with premmies
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book easy to read and comprehend. It was extremly helpful as a mother of a 29 week premmie who is now a year old and having some developemental delays from arriving a whole trimester early. It gave hope and encouragement as well as info on how to help foster developement in avenues I had not realized. The book even has numerous references about premmies.Book Review: SO interesting!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a hard time sitting down and reading a nonfiction book front to back. But this book is great, my mind skims across some of the really scientific parts, but 90% I read deeply to absorb all the great information. I am 1/2 way through in only 2 weeks, and that is impressive with a 5month old around(: I love this book, and I feel more empowered about my child rearing decisions.
