Summary
The first months after birth are vital to the long-term well-being of a child。 Yet parents do not have the information they need to make their baby's life as stimulating as it should be。 How Smart Is Your Baby？ provides parents with all the information required to help their baby achieve full potential。 The authors first explain infant growth， and then guide parents in creating a home environment that enhances brain development。 A developmental profile allows parents to track their child's progress， determine strengths， and recognize where additional stimulation is needed。

This book acts as an overview and more for the Doman's Gentle Revolution series。 I am very much drawn to the philosophy behind the book and am looking forward to implementing some of these programs in the first years of my newborn's life。 That said， the sheer amount and frequency of the suggested programs are overwhelming and often seem like overkill。 Even if you are a stay-at-home parent with no other children， you would have great difficulty in doing everything they recommend。 The book makes i This book acts as an overview and more for the Doman's Gentle Revolution series。 I am very much drawn to the philosophy behind the book and am looking forward to implementing some of these programs in the first years of my newborn's life。 That said， the sheer amount and frequency of the suggested programs are overwhelming and often seem like overkill。 Even if you are a stay-at-home parent with no other children， you would have great difficulty in doing everything they recommend。 The book makes it clear at the end， however， that there is no need to do everything。 Even if the only thing the book ends up doing is to give you an appreciation for how intelligent your baby is， that will be a positive effect in his upbringing。 Personally， I plan to take a few tips from the mobility exercises as well as the reading program with my child， and not focus on the many other areas。I'm giving this book four stars for now， but I cannot give a true evaluation for another few years after I have attempted to implement the methods。 For anyone interested， you may want to take a look at Janet Doman's video on Youtube entitled: "How to Begin a Newborn Program" 。。。more

Seems pretty good。 A lot of reasonable activities to do with your baby。 Even if it doesn't do as promised， will get you interacting with your baby， which is always great！ Seems pretty good。 A lot of reasonable activities to do with your baby。 Even if it doesn't do as promised， will get you interacting with your baby， which is always great！ 。。。more

If there is such a thing as a baby manual， this is one。

The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential are on the leading edge of thought and growth with regards to the development of the young ones 0-6 years 。 The methods described in this book are thorough ， precise and have been tried and tested by over 20 000 families from all over the world some of which attended the Institutes in Philedelphia for a weeks training and from what I read it cannot compare to the books it's priceless。 Glenn Doman and his team have over 40 years of research an The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential are on the leading edge of thought and growth with regards to the development of the young ones 0-6 years 。 The methods described in this book are thorough ， precise and have been tried and tested by over 20 000 families from all over the world some of which attended the Institutes in Philedelphia for a weeks training and from what I read it cannot compare to the books it's priceless。 Glenn Doman and his team have over 40 years of research and working neurologist， physicians and a whole team of doctors to come up with all the books they have written。 I suggest any parent do some investigation just to clear ones conscious and see some of the parents who did this years ago and how their children have turned out。 I believe some parents think that some of the methods are madness and that a baby will not enjoy these however I have found the contrary and when reading the book you can feel the passion and the safety they wish for your child。 The main thing they stress is THIS IS MEANT TO BE JOYUS journey for mom and baby if baby is crying stop and find out what's wrong， never proceed if baby is unhappy， once you truly commit to this its a way of life， it's a lot of work and progressive in nature。 I am doing them even though not as consistently during the day ， I'm making sure that each day something is done from the book after work。 My son who is 5 months is loving them and it's part of play。 Flicking through these books is not the way to integrate yourself with them it's a study and a way of life。 If you really want to give your child the best path forward this has been the most refreshing read and has made me see my son as an intelligent creative little sponge who will take in anything that I teach and what better way to give him the best。 Glenn Doman I am so thankful for your work may your work keep touching the lives of many more families。 。。。more

This book suggests using air horns， pinching， and ice to "test" your baby。 Sorry， that just doesn't jive with my instincts as a mother。 The AAP suggests that Doman's methods are based on outdated theories of development and calls his approach unwarranted。 I'm inclined to agree。 While babies do love all kinds of stimulation， most don't like loud sudden noises or pain， y'know？ This book suggests using air horns， pinching， and ice to "test" your baby。 Sorry， that just doesn't jive with my instincts as a mother。 The AAP suggests that Doman's methods are based on outdated theories of development and calls his approach unwarranted。 I'm inclined to agree。 While babies do love all kinds of stimulation， most don't like loud sudden noises or pain， y'know？ 。。。more

This book was a direct answer to prayer for me regarding Samantha。 Though it is helpful for all babies， I love how this book， and his others， give step by step actual activities that you can do to improve certain areas of a child's development。 It was excellent timing for me to read this。 This book was a direct answer to prayer for me regarding Samantha。 Though it is helpful for all babies， I love how this book， and his others， give step by step actual activities that you can do to improve certain areas of a child's development。 It was excellent timing for me to read this。 。。。more
