Reviews
Fun Baby Learning Games by Sally Goldberg PhD is a wonderful resource filled with 200 ideas and activities that develop motor, cognitive, language, and social skills through playful games with your infants to two-year-olds. As founder of the Child-Centered Divorce Network, I emphasize the importance of maintaining a close bond with your child, especially during challenging times within the family. Dr. Sally offers simple, easy to follow steps, all backed by research, to keep parent and child engaged, enjoying fun together time and stimulating all the senses. Every parent, child-care center and pre-school would benefit from this thoughtful how-to book.
I have known Sally and her work for a very long time. She tells me often how important the first three years of life are for later success. That is one of those things that sounds good but is actually hard to believe. Now with this book, that idea is clear as day.
The best feature of Fun Baby Learning Games is the organization. There is high-quality information about every age and stage of development from birth to age three. In addition, there are activities for each one that include simple instructions for how to do them and why. Here is the main theme that she follows--Through "play-and-learn" techniques you can keep fostering development every step of the way in these five areas: cognitive, motor, social/emotional, language and self-esteem. She says in many different ways that "every minute counts!" I highly recommend this book for every new parent and grandparent.
