In their first three years of life babies face the most complex learning endeavor they will ever undertake as human beings: They learn to talk. Now, as researchers make new forays into the mystery of the development of the human brain, authors Roberta Michnick Golinkoff and Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, both developmental psychologists and language experts, offer parents a powerfully insightful guidebook to how infants--even while in the womb--begin to learn language. Along the way, the authors provide parents with the latest scientific findings, developmental milestones, and important advice on how to create the most effective learning environments for their children. This book takes readers on a fascinating, vitally important exploration of the dance between nature and nurture, and explains how parents can help their children learn more successfully.

Industry Reviews

"This is a great book. It's an important addition to any parent's library."--T. Berry Brazelton "An in-depth study of language development during the first three years of life... The text is interspersed with activities readers can use to assess the specific development of their own children... useful and interesting to anyone involved with young children."--Library Journal

"Crisp, clear, concise, often humorous. The contents are unusually substantive for a handbook targeted to parents, as the bibliography of scientific citations confirms. Important scientific results and their applications to daily life are highlighted as lessons under the heading 'Scientific Sleuthing Pays Off' and modified for use at home as 'Try This' exercises. A key resource for parenting collections."--Booklist
