Examine how newborns fit into the sensorimotor stage - tracing cognitive development from simple reflexes to beginnings of thought. Explore infant intelligence, information processing and memory. See the progression of infant communication from crying - to giggling - to euphoric babbling and their first words! Understand how language is learned and how caregivers can use infant-directed...

We follow a typical two year old - she loves learning and exploring. She is becoming increasingly independent, wanting to do more things for herself.

Watch a cast of infants begin to explore their world and reach different milestones along the way. Learn how a baby's brain develops and what activities help stimulate healthy brain growth. Also learn the importance of proper nutrition and sleep in the first year. See how infants rely on their innate reflexes and how gross and fine motor skills emerge in typically developing children as well as those with challenging conditions.

Presents a guide for new parents on properly caring for an infant, from pregnancy to its first year, and includes tips on feeding, sleeping, and crying, as well as providing new insights to infants' neurological development.

For each of these ages, aspects of physical development are illustrated: primitive reflexes, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, vision.

Offers young mothers practical advice, hard-won wisdom, and helpful information on the art of parenting, from pregnancy to age five, explaining how to negotiate successfully the different stages of motherhood.

This video presents a comprehensive range of visual behaviors, grouped into self-contained Developmental Sequence Clusters, which demonstrate how skills at each level lead to those at the next. Major topics include: reflexive patterns (pupillary reactions, doll's eye responses, and eyelid reflexes), and voluntary movements of localization (visual approach), fixation (visual grasp), ocular pursuit (visual manipulation), and gaze shift (visual release)....
