university adminstrator, are expecting their first baby - and I get asked this
question by educated and intelligent parents of infants who come into our
lab. What is a good book on child development, especially infant
development, for the lay person? I'm particularly looking for one that is well
balanced and steers clear of, or at least balances out, the "baby as
mini-scientist who knows oh-so-much about the world" but also the
"it's essential you expose your child to Mozart in the womb" ends of
the spectrum.</span></font></p>
