Little Steps for New Parents: A Weekly Guide for Developing Your Baby's Intelligence

Organized into 52 weekly lessons corresponding with a baby's age, this guide teaches parents about their baby's brain development as it happens. Each week's activity combines building a child's intelligence and emotional control with natural parenting instincts. These activities support a baby's strong motivation to learn and teach parents how infants learn, allowing parents to create more fun and instructive activities on their own. Feeding, safety, and health are addressed in the appropriate weeks. Parents can also record fun things the baby learned or did that week, creating a personalized keepsake.
