Consider adding the Web site of ZERO TO THREE: The National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families to your list of parenting favorites. Those working in infant development turn to this site often, but it’s not limited to professionals. It also offers a wealth of research-based, practical information just for parents. Choose among interactive tools, tip sheets, slide shows, full-text journal articles, and audio resources all designed to help you make the kind of child-rearing choices that work best for your family.
Here you’ll find reliable suggestions for supporting your child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. You’ll see a range of topics from language and literacy to play, sleep, child care, temperament, and behavior.
Be sure to try out the Baby Brain Map based on work by the Boston University of Medicine, Erikson Institute and Zero to Three. Choose your baby’s age range and watch “hot spots” light up on a brain graphic. Click on them to find out what’s going on in the brain during this period and discover realistic ways to foster brain development.
