Baby Minds: Brain-Building Games Your Baby Will Love
...
Show More
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
_ 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.

A few of the suggested games seem ludicrous to me, but I like most of it. It's a good reference.

This was basically a review of things I learned in Child Dev. classes, but I really enjoyed it (it's a quick read)! It talks about current research in an easy to understand way and then gives a lot of practical, inexpensive ideas to help your child realize his or her potential based on the research. I would recommend it to any parent of an infant (the tips are for birth to age three).

This book has some pretty good ideas on what to do to enhance your child's mental development and keep them entertained. My daughter loves playing the game where you tie a string to her foot and then to a mobile and has to kicks to make the mobile move.
