What is your child thinking?
Discover how your baby’s memory, discrimination and concept formation, immitation and object permanence develop over their first year. Track the steps they take as they learn to recognize and group people and objects and find out why separation anxiety happens and how you can lessen it. Create a unique developmental roadmap for your child that you can share with family and friends so you can all support your child’s development by playing games, providing appropriate toys, and talking, singing and reading with your child.
