Studying Babies and Toddlers: Relationships in Cultural Contexts

How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development in the womb and in the first months and years have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision-makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behaviour. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.

Assessing and Guiding Young Children's Development and Learning

Wonder Weeks reveals what’s going on inside the baby’s mind. Including a bonus chapter with everything about the relationship between sleep and leaps, as well as unique insight into your baby's sleeping behaviour.The book includes:<ul><li>A week-by-week guide to baby's behaviour.</li><li>When to expect the fussy behaviour, what this implies (cranky, clingy, crying (the three C's) behaviour) and how to deal with these regression periods (leaps).</li><li>A description from your baby's perspective of the world around him and how you can understand the changes he's going through.</li><li>Fun games and gentle activities you can do with your child.</li><li>A unique insight into your baby's sleeping behaviour The book is based on the scientific- and parental-world-changing discovery of a phenomenon: all normal, healthy babies appear to be fussier at very nearly the same ages, regression periods and sleep less in these phases. These age-related fluctuations in need for body contact and attention (regression periods) are related to major and quite dramatic changes in the brains of children. These changes enable a baby to enter a whole new perceptual world and, as a consequence, to learn many new skills. This should be a reason for celebration, but as far as the baby is concerned these changes are bewildering. He's taken aback—everything has changed overnight. It is as if he has woken up on a strange planet. He needs you to guide him and understand what he is going through! Get ready to rediscover the world all over again with your baby… Bonus: Sleep, and the lack of sleep... that's something we all have to deal with when we have a baby. The bonus chapter includes everything about the relationship between sleep and leaps, as well as unique insight into your baby's sleeping behaviour.</li></ul>Hint: did you know your baby learns (and there's a lot of brain activity) during those little, 'light' sleeps?
