Bright From the Start: The simple way to nurture your child's developing mind

Babies need just the simplest things to help their brains develop - touch, reading, routines. Give your baby the brightest start in life with plenty of attention, bonding and communication.

How you interact with your baby day-to-day affects their long-term development. Dr Jill Stamm, a leading authority in infant brain development, uses the latest scientific research to show how parents can nurture their child's developing mind. Bright from the Start will tell you:

- how to increase your child's attention span
- the link between emotional attachments and development
- why touch is important
- the value of down time
- how to choose childcare providers wisely
- why reading to your baby is critical
- the truth about learning toys and educational DVDs
- why you should limit TV time

By working with Dr Stamm's clear, easy-to-follow advice, all parents can give their child the best start in life.

If all newborns could come with an instruction book, this would be it.
