Great information for parents!

This book is amazing, showing us, the parents, just what our babies really can do! The authors empasize on the importance of the childs emotions, how to connect with your baby in a way that will not only teach your baby but give them a loving relationship to bond with their parents. This book is an excellant choice for anyone who wants to look beyond their childs outerbeing and really understand so much more.

Half theory; half practice: great combo to understand what you're doing

I loved Baby Minds. While browsing for "games" books for my future first child, I stumbled upon this one and decided to buy it. Although there aren't many brain-building games, there are quite enough for a great start. What I especially liked are the explanations before the activities. I really felt like the authors researched a lot for this book and they made me understand that babies have a lot of potential we can help them reach with simple activities. Most people keep saying that babies don't do anything for months and I now realize that maybe they're the ones not doing anything. Well worth my time and money!

Everyone should own this book!!! Loved it!!

Wow what a page turner! The beging starts out slow but then it gets really good. This book does a good job of explaining why to do certain things backed up by good research. I'd call this an importent book for parents to read. Wish the author would add to this a toddler book. Worth every penny!

More than 65 delightful games and activities to jump-start your baby's amazing brainpower

Can simply singing a song or blowing a dandelion under a toddler's nose help her mind to blossom? Can your baby count, remember events, and solve problems even before he can talk? The exciting answer to both questions is yes!

Breakthrough research is revealing the extraordinary inborn abilities of infants.
It is also showing how experiences during the first years of life profoundly
influence intelligence, creativity, language development-and even later
reading and math skills.

Now two psychologists and child development experts-authors of the bestselling Baby Signs-have created a delightful guide for parents based on the most up-to-date knowledge of how babies discover the world. You'll learn how to:

_ Create a homemade mobile to stimulate your three-month-old's delight in solving problems
_ Play a patty-cake game to help your two-year-old
make logical connections
_ Initiate bedtime conversations that build your child's memory and sense of personal history
_ Develop "Baby Signs" to help your toddler communicate before he or she can talk
_ Stimulate your child's natural number skills with puppets and counting games
_ Use nursery rhymes and special read-aloud techniques to foster reading readiness
_ Nurture budding creativity with humor and fantasy play
_ And much more!

Baby Minds is not another program for creating "super babies." Instead it
builds on activities that babies instinctively love to develop their unique abilities and make your daily interactions full of the joy of discovery-for both of you.
