Do not miss this one !

I have read many parenting books; I was especially interested in books that help me to stimulate my child in early math and science. I spend money in books really silly and without information. This small book point really good ideas to develop with your child and easy to implement. In just 3 or 4 pages I got all the information and more complete than in all other books that I bought. My child is 3 and this book gives any way interesting information for him.

Great book for all new parents

This book is terrific! A very quick read (especially important for new parents!) and full of very valuable information. This book is great because of the clear cut advice and practical, specific suggestions for enriching your child's early development. Many of the suggestions are simple and easy to do, but will make a big difference in the lives of your children. Written with a respect for children that is often lacking in the way people tend to treat young children. This book is not about pushing your child to get perfect test scores. It shows how raise a child that is happy and secure who will want to pursue knowledge and creativity on their own.
