Book Reviews of What's Going on in There? : How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life
Book Review: A must read for all parents!
Summary: 5 Stars
What an incredible book! It has given me such an insight into how and why my toddler has done the things he has, is doing the things he is doing now and what he will do later. It has opened my eyes to how to help my son in the next few years. Thank you for such an amazing book! I know I am a better parent for having read it and that I will give my son a better chance in life.Book Review: Loved the book, BUT...
Summary: 4 Stars
It was a great read the only problem was that the binding disintegrated on me as I progressed. I managed to read it once, but I had to discard it in small and large chunks along the way. That's a shame because a second reading would be rewarding. Perhaps a hardcover ed. would fair better. Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
A really nice book that would help you with your children, your owns or others (if you work in care center or anything like it).Book Review: Just what I was looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
Sometimes you imagine a movie or a book that is a perfect convergence of your interests at the time. This book provides that for me in bringing together readings on the developments in neuroscience and the neurobiology of brain development with early child development. After reading "In Search of Memory" by Eric Kandel and becoming fascinated with how we understand the brain, I was searching for a book that brought that knowledge and research to prenatal and early child brain development. Who doesn't want to know how to stimulate their child in the way the brains need and give them the best chance for realizing their potential. Lise Eliot takes exactly this approach by outlining how a childs brain develops and what good things we can do to aid and understand that development. Highly recommend for new parents or for those curious about brain development.Book Review: Easy to read, but very informative
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this book! It was very easy to read but still very informative and does not talk down to the reader. It gives a lot of information, such as how the labor process affects the baby. It gives reasons why natural childbirth are good for the baby, but also looks at when it is probably best to use meds (as far as the baby's health and safety are concerned).
