How to Teach Your Baby to Be Physically Superb: The Gentle Revolution: From Birth to Age Six

great book.

My youngest was a very large baby and as he had been breach all pregnancy I felt I had to do something a bit extra to help him physically, this book was exactly what I needed! This provided a routine to help strengthen and develop him both physically and mentally. Now, I didn't do it as religious as they suggest - (he howled the house down everytime we put him in the crawling track, my poor husband loving made for him while home with swine flu!!)but the arm exercises, spatial exercises really worked. He is now 18 months - crawled only at 6 months, but walked at 10months; he is currently doing gymnastics and football with 3year olds - he is incredible strong, agile and co-ordinated. Also I've noticed that his spatial ability is streets ahead of his brothers. While of course this isn't all down to the book, it does help. This book gave me guidance and its lovely in those early days to feel like you're doing something to help them in addition to feeding, changing and cuddling. My husband also gained alot of enjoyment from having something tangible to do with his son - always a good thing!Detailed, clear instructions with theory to back it up, whilst being very easy to follow and initiate at home without having to buy anything.

this is a must read for anyone who is into the development of their child..... i have been introducing the little excercises from day one with my three month old daughter. she loves to do them and can already sit up and stand whilst holding my hands. she is very strong and is much more capable than others of the same age i look forward to continuing helping her and it has helped create a strong bond between us
