Infant Development

Have you ever wondered how your early life shaped you? From beginning to say simple words like 'mama' and learning how to walk around unaided, to the first day of school and forming new friendships, everyone has been a child. The roots of our adult selves go right back to our first experiences. How we think, act and interact is influenced by our early years, yet most people don't know the key findings from the juiciest child development studies that can give us insight into our adult selves.

Are you overwhelmed with your child's never ending tantrums? Here’s how to break this cycle and connect deeply with your child, especially in those tough moments. More than just rehearsed parenting advice, this guide dives into the emotional baggage we unknowingly carry from our own upbringing and how it sneaks into our responses. You’ll dive deep into the world of empathic communication, understanding how your reactions, driven by your past, can shape a child's worldview.

Making sure your child has the very best start when it comes to education, through play and activities, is vitally important in a world where competition is greater than ever before. And the development of your child into a happy, confident, and inquisitive adult begins right at the start. By introducing Montessori education at this stage, they will stand a better chance of being emotionally and mentally healthy as well as successful in the future. This audiobook is the ultimate Montessori discipline guide with over 100 activities for your kids.

In this eye-opening manifesto, pediatric sleep specialists Eliot S. Katz and Carolyn D'Ambrosio explore the history of the "cry it out" industry and the medicalization of perfectly normal infant sleep patterns. They explain how the demands of modern society encourage parents to value uninterrupted sleep over their baby's needs, and to ignore important nighttime opportunities for parent-child bonding.

Children need to deal with a number of fears as they grow up. From entering a new school to taking a big shot to cope with a bully in school, they are facing intimidating situations from time to time. Unfortunately, there are many parents who don’t care about their children seriously even when they display their fears. This is an incorrect parenting method, which could make a child suffer from panic attacks and depression. If you love your kids, this is the last thing you do not want to happen to them, so make sure to give them the support they need whenever their fears take place.

In How Babies Sleep, pioneering and award-winning infant sleep researcher Professor Helen Ball brings together cutting-edge science, anthropological insight and practical advice to provide parents with everything they need to help them confidently – and sanely – navigate the first 365 night-times with a new baby. It will teach you how to harmonise your needs with those of your infant, and empower you to reject approaches that make you uncomfortable and experiment with strategies that work for you and your family.

It’s 2am but your baby thinks it’s party time; their ‘routine’ seems to change with the wind, and you would do anything to get a good night’s sleep. We know how you feel! You might be prepared and listening to this before baby arrives, or as they snooze beside you in those early new-born days, knowing that forewarned is forearmed. Or your eyebags may tell their own bedtime story. Either way, if your baby is not sleeping, you have not done anything wrong. Your baby is not broken (although you might feel broken from lack of sleep), and you are not a bad parent.

By combining these following principles with your own intuition and experience, you can raise your children in a way that supports their emotional, cognitive, and social development while fostering a strong, loving relationship.

Long before they can talk, babies communicate their experience of the world through laughter and tears. Until now, however, psychologists and parenting experts have largely focused on moments of stress and confusion. Dr. Caspar Addyman is a developmental psychologist who decided to change that. For six years Caspar has run the Baby Laughter project, collecting data, videos, and stories from parents all over the world. He learned that laughter and smiles are of central importance at the start of life, defining our cognitive and emotional development.
