Ever wonder what is going on in a baby's brain? Or how you can best nurture a child's natural development? Or why exactly Bach is better than Mozart for babies? This book will explain why. No technical knowledge is necessary, as Shore makes recent neurological findings accessible to all those who come into contact with young children. Everything a baby experiences in his or her first five years is building the foundation of life's learning potential. Through increasing the complexity of the early childhood environment in developmentally appropriate ways, we can nurture young children's brains. Developing Young Minds is a must-have for new parents or caregivers of young children.

Shore, a parent and experienced educator at the college and high school levels, makes an argument for stimulating, complex,and brain-conscious early childhood education, relying on her long-standing interest in 'how and why learning occurs in the brain the way that it does.' The book’s first third outlines scientific findings about the brain that demonstrate the need for a stimulating, language-filled environment during the early years of a child’s life. The next section promotes art, dance, and music for the developing brain. Although this can be done cheaply and easily, the author includes an endorsement for a set of Bach CDs she produced. The last section, punctuated with useful childcare checklists and an age-by-age guide, encourages parents to provide enriching learning environments that are developmentally appropriate and allow young children to grow at their own pace. . . .There’s a little something for all . . . audiences.
