Introductory topics include sibling rivalry, gender differences, childcare arrangements for working parents, a toddler's way of nonverbal communication, coping with tantrums, eating habits, potty training, bedtime and sleep patterns, dealing with shyness, and encouraging the child's sense of self-confidence. The book's chapters are organized as general development charts, body movement, hand-eye coordination, language, learning skills and activities, and a child's social and emotional development.

So it's not what you think (most think it's some way to help YOUR kid get "ahead" but it's NOT!) It kind of knocks baby einstein (sorry if that offends) and opens eyes to real research based data about (in my opinion common sense things) things that help our kids achieve healthy brain development. Ex: ABCs = Attention, Bonding, Communication and what that actually looks like. Also, not listening to classical music, but learning to play a musical instrument guides children across all talent levels to excel more in math, and coordination because both hands are at work, eyes decode musical notes, both halfs of brain are working, PLUS the book is written by a teacher who went into neuroscience when she bore a child with major brain complications due to lack of oxygen at birth. VERY interesting read!! Still a bit to go to finish!
