In their first three years of life, babies face the most complex learning endeavor they will ever undertake as human beings: They learn to talk. Now, as researchers make new forays into the mystery of the development of the human brain, Golinkoff and Hirsh-Pasek, both developmental psychologists and language experts, offer parents a powerfully insightful guidebook to how infants—even while in the womb—begin to learn language. Along the way, the authors provide parents with the latest scientific findings, developmental milestones, and important advice on how to create the most effective learning environments for their children. This book takes readers on a fascinating, vitally important exploration of the dance between nature and nurture, and explains how parents can help their children learn more successfully.
Developed and refined by two successful pediatricians, the "Jassey Way" boasts more than a 90% success rate of getting children to sleep through the night in their first 4 weeks of life.

The story of "A Story of YOU" baby bookWhen mom of two Punita Rice (writer of South Asian American Experiences in Schools, Toddler Weaning, and 100 Days of Gratitude) was filling in a page of her younger son's baby book one day, she thought she was going to lose her mind. Because what she wanted was to jot down some notes about what her son liked and disliked at age 1... but the baby book had no room allocated for such matters. Instead, she flipped through ridiculous pages with teeth diagrams and doctor visit records (Because when her son is an adult, maybe a new parent, reading through the baby book his own mom painstakingly made for him, THAT'S what he's going to want to read about in his baby book... Exact dates each tooth emerged, and immunization records. WHAT!?)...and she had to squeeze notes about his favorite books and songs in next to spots designated for descriptions of his dentist's office. (WHAT EVEN ARE THESE BABY BOOK QUESTIONS!?) She decided there has to be a better way.A baby book should not be full of nonsense.Instead, a baby book should just focus on the things that matter in the story of your baby (until they're not a baby anymore... We'll say that's at 13, AND NOT AT AGE 5 THANKYOUVERYMUCH, OLD BABY BOOKS!). A baby book should be a place to record the important stuff from birth until at least 13.
