During his first year, a child goes through a developmental path comparable to his entire future life. And every day of this year is important. Biologists researching the field of behavioral physiology, Lyudmila Sokolova and Nadezhda Andreeva, talk in their book about everything that young parents need to know about their child. With what knowledge about the world and unique capabilities is a baby born? How does a newborn see? How does his brain work? What does your baby want to tell you with his crying? Why did he start to be afraid of strangers? When will he start walking and talking? How to awaken his interest in learning from the first days of life? You will read the answers to these and other questions in this book, created by the authors taking into account the latest research in the field of human neurophysiology and invaluable folk experience.
