Summary

Babies Build Toddlers is a unique parenting book with an innovative illustrative approach that makes child development information both accessible and actionable for everyday readers。 Author， Mariana Bissonnette tells the powerful story of the child during their most essential stage of development: infancy。

The first 18 months lay a critical foundation for a child's future emotional， cognitive， physical， and social well-being。 But this early time is often the most difficult for parents！ Many find themselves in "survival mode" until toddlerhood， something that overlooks the incredible potential of this early time。 Babies Build Toddlers offers readers a window into the intersection of development， education and parenting through clear developmental timelines （including movement， language， eating， sleeping， hygiene， and bonding）， practical suggestions for how to support that development， and illustrations from a team of illustrators who celebrate the fullness of each parent's journey。

Can't rave enough about this book for parents of little ones or teachers of 0-18 months。 Incredible， clear information explained concisely， solid Montessori foundations， beautiful artwork， aligned with child development， and all run through with kindness and thoughtfulness。 The would be an excellent gift for new parents or new Infant and Toddler teachers！ I am buying a second copy to loan out。 Can't rave enough about this book for parents of little ones or teachers of 0-18 months。 Incredible， clear information explained concisely， solid Montessori foundations， beautiful artwork， aligned with child development， and all run through with kindness and thoughtfulness。 The would be an excellent gift for new parents or new Infant and Toddler teachers！ I am buying a second copy to loan out。 。。。more

Great illustrations and practical information that new parents don’t think of but seasoned parents seemed to forget。

I loved this book。 I felt like I didn't want to put it down。 The advice is so friendly and yet persistent。 The language is thorough without being repetitive。 It has a phenomenal group of illustrators and such a foundation in understanding Montessori principles to raise an independent and functional toddler。 I definitely have followed the resources in the book and plan to take advantage of some of the author's offerings and recommendations。 I loved this book。 I felt like I didn't want to put it down。 The advice is so friendly and yet persistent。 The language is thorough without being repetitive。 It has a phenomenal group of illustrators and such a foundation in understanding Montessori principles to raise an independent and functional toddler。 I definitely have followed the resources in the book and plan to take advantage of some of the author's offerings and recommendations。 。。。more

Montessori is a developmental approach to education based on observation of the child。 The book breaks down the stages of 'babyhood' in a nicely illustrated and easy to read fashion。 So much useful information is packed into this book that I can't wait to share and pass this book around to other new parents who may be interested in learning how to assist their child on the way to independence。 I especially enjoyed the illustrated developmental charts at the end of the book。 This is a useful refe Montessori is a developmental approach to education based on observation of the child。 The book breaks down the stages of 'babyhood' in a nicely illustrated and easy to read fashion。 So much useful information is packed into this book that I can't wait to share and pass this book around to other new parents who may be interested in learning how to assist their child on the way to independence。 I especially enjoyed the illustrated developmental charts at the end of the book。 This is a useful reference that deserves a space on the bookshelf！ 。。。more

I devoured this。 I usually plod through parenting non fiction over a few months but this was beautifully written and the illustrations are beautiful and represent families of all kinds。

A much needed book in the area of a Montessori approach to infancy。 The way the book ties together different areas of care with development through infancy is so helpful for getting a big picture view of the first 18 months。

The first eighteen months of life is a critical time in human development。 Though this period can be fatiguing and overwhelming， it is when a human “seed” spreads its roots， building a foundation that will lead to life as a successful toddler and beyond。 Developmentally， children transition to new skills， begin perfecting those skills， and then become comfortable with those skills in a cycle that repeats even into adolescence and adulthood。 Understanding these milestones helps caregivers see the The first eighteen months of life is a critical time in human development。 Though this period can be fatiguing and overwhelming， it is when a human “seed” spreads its roots， building a foundation that will lead to life as a successful toddler and beyond。 Developmentally， children transition to new skills， begin perfecting those skills， and then become comfortable with those skills in a cycle that repeats even into adolescence and adulthood。 Understanding these milestones helps caregivers see the big picture and remember that their child is learning independence， a skill that will benefit them throughout their lives。Based heavily on the work of Maria Montessori， this book takes readers through a child’s early life， from infancy to toddlerhood。 It is broken into five sections， each one highlighting a specific aspect of the growth of the human “seed。” Though it is nonfiction， this book is designed to be read straight through， as a novel might be。 This flow allows readers to focus on the child first and then on the caregiver as the “gardener。” The text itself is presented in a formal， educational manner， and the design and illustrations add visual elements that solidify each concept。A parent of two and Montessori educator herself， the author combines her personal experience and knowledge into a book that provides caregivers with the guidance and understanding to support their children’s development。 Similar to the Montessori method， readers are given the opportunity to try and fail without judgement， which is something caregivers of all kinds need。 This open-minded approach makes caregivers feel more confident at a time when they are feeling most vulnerable。The design and layout of this book is consistent from chapter to chapter， including myriad images and ample white space to keep readers connected without feeling overwhelmed。 Instead of being illustrated by only one person， a team of several women depict the lessons in this book， adding diverse and inclusive images to the text。 The author draws readers’ attention to race and gender divides and， while white herself， raises awareness of authors， illustrators， and educators from a wide range of backgrounds。An informative， inclusive， and accessible guide， this book supports caregivers in providing a strong start for their children to promote lifelong success。 。。。more
