Summary

The baby's brain is growing at an incredible rate, and learning constantly. Every perception, every stimulus, every piece of information becomes part of the baby's foundation of knowledge for the rest of its life. The baby's brain is the most responsive organ known. It is hungering, yearning for stimulation and interaction. 125 Brain Games for Babies includes everyday opportunities to nurture brain development in this critical period from birth through 12 months. Each game is accompanied by information on the latest related brain research, and a discussion of how the activity promotes brain power. Book jacket.
