For Parents, Grandparents and Caregivers

Parents play a critical role in a child's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development. The personal relationship that parents establish with their infant is considered the most crucial to baby’s development and sets the stage for their child’s emotional well-being and social relationships in later stages of life. All the significant people in baby’s life (grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and caregivers) can help nurture a loving and healthy relationship too. 

Health care providers who work with infants and parents, such as pediatricians, public health nurses, and social workers, have found this resource to be invaluable.

The games are designed to engage parents and baby in rich conversation from the day baby is born. How much and how well you talk with baby influences baby's development of language and vocabulary skills. Research suggests that connecting words and meaning through rich, varied language and longer sentences, primes baby's brain to learn.

The thoroughly researched games cover a wide range of developmental skills – gross motor coordination, visual discrimination, sound awareness and discrimination, eye-hand coordination, fine motor coordination, muscular development, and language and social development.
