The first two years are brimful of opportunities for movement and play to ensure the optimal development of babyâÂÂs senses and reflexes, brain and limbs, social and language skills, and feelings and thought processes. This engaging, easy-to-follow guide will enable you to make the most of those vital early-life experiences through brain and body gym.
Both practical and fun, Babygym is packed with suggestions for the best activities to ensure that babies develop optimally. Play is never wasted. A simple game like peek-a-boo builds the neck muscles and develops the vestibular system and spatial orientation: skills needed to trigger the crawling reflex and later the reading ability.
