Brain Rules for Baby

John Medina is a developmental molecular biologist, and Brain Rules for Baby applies that background to the first five years of a child's life. The book works through pregnancy, infancy and early childhood, setting out what research suggests about sleep, empathy, discipline, play and language, and what remains uncertain. Medina writes plainly and often with humour, separating findings that hold up from popular claims that do not. Guidance here supports rather than replaces a paediatrician, and families with specific concerns should consult a qualified professional.
