Brain Games for babies, toddlers & twos (2002)
Author: Jackie Silberg
Description
A toddler’s brain is twice as active as that of a college student, presenting an opportunity for learning which occurs only once in a lifetime. This guide aims to show you how to harness this potential, with 150 fun-filled games devised to stimulate brain-development during the critical period from nought to three years. Each game is accompanied by information on related brain research and description of how the activity promotes brain power in your child. The games for babies include exercises designed to promote hand-eye co-ordination, movement and expression, and encourage strength and mobility, grasping and reaching for objects, and listening skills. From six months onwards activities encourage crawling, awareness of object permanance, language learning, listening skills and awareness of cause and effect, then promote independent walking, help with understanding basic instructions and aiding concentration. As your child becomes a toddler the games aim to increase vocabulary, encourage.

I really like this book. I only started reading it from the part for toddlers of 20 months (maybe the last reviewer started at babies?)but I thought it was lovely. It has given me some great inspiration, especially for games to play on a rainy day. I’ve gone as far as keeping this book in my kitchen to prompt me to have fun and spend quality time with my toddler while my baby is asleep. When all you can think of is what housework needs doing, this can provide valuable ideas and an excuse to sit and have some 1:1 fun! I definitely recommend this book.
