The Wonder Years: How the First 45 Months Shape Your Baby's Brain and Who They'll Become [9798217093564]

Overview

An expert on early childhood development breaks down the first forty-five months of life, from conception to age three, demonstrating how these years are the most crucial—and fascinating!—in our young children's lives.

Hollywood loves an origin story. But no fictional tale of transformation—no hero's journey, no villain's rise—rivals the astonishing, real-life drama of your own beginnings. Against all odds, you grew from a single cell into a complex being capable of walking, talking, reasoning, and loving. You learned the sound of your mother’s voice even before you left the womb. You conducted gravity experiments from your highchair. And you wired your own brain by interacting with the world and people who loved you most. And then you forgot it all.

Childhood development specialist Dr. Dan Wuori invites you on a breathtaking journey through our unremembered years, revealing the hidden science of how newborns become who they are—so we adults can understand every stage of their development, and help them along the way. The Wonder Years places us directly into the mind and body of the growing child, exploring the world through their eyes, ears, ever-inquisitive mouth, and burgeoning intelligence. You'll discover the invisible forces—from our environments and the epigenetic switches flipped by our ancestors, to the toddler brain’s super-charged development—that shape who children become.

Blending the latest research in neuroscience, genetics, and developmental psychology with accessible, awe-inspiring storytelling, The Wonder Years bridges the gap between the laboratory and living room. It’s a compelling read for new parents seeking to understand their child’s world, and an illuminating exploration for anyone curious about the profound, forgotten chapter of their own existence. Prepare to look at yourself—and every child—with renewed wonder.
