In the past few years, a new breed of baby-watchers has discovered
more about infancy than has ever been known before. Infants brings
this knowledge out of inaccessible academic journals and makes it
available to everyone in direct language. Written by a child
psychologist who has studied the developmental progress of infants
for many years, the book describes and interprets the fascinating
capabilities of infants in their first years of life. It covers the
ability of the newborn to see and hear their parents, their natural
disposition toward getting to know caregivers, and the growth of
love and attachment between parent and baby. It explores the
changing mental abilities and social skills in the first and second
years, and tells readers how they can observe these stages in
children. At a time when parents are increasingly beset by
contradictory advice about infant care, many will find it useful to
have a sensible and caring book that presents the latest
information on understanding the behavior of babies. Parenting can
then become the emotionally fulfilling and intellectually
stimulating responsibility it should be.
