The Social Baby: Understanding Babies' Communication from Birth

Every infant is destined by nature to grow and develop, and they themselves are ready to constantly communicate and play—thereby forming the most important skills for future life. How quickly progress happens is greatly accelerated by parents who know how to support a child’s initiative. In his book, psychology professor Линн Мюррей reveals the close connection between a child’s emotional sphere and their successes while learning about the world around them, and explains how parents and caregivers can stimulate their mental development. Surprisingly clear and understandable recommendations are backed by data from the newest research. It’s an engaging and useful book that brings together the results of many years of painstaking research in the psychology of young children—research the author generously shares with parents and caregivers.
