About this listen
Two developmental psychologists/language experts offer parents a powerfully insightful guide to how infants - even while in the womb - begin to learn language.
©1999 Roberta Michnick Golinkoff and Kathy Hirsh-Pasek (P)2012 Audible, Inc.What the critics say
"This is a great book...an important addition to any parent's library" (T. Berry Brazelton)
It does not have a child rearing philosophy to preach, and there is no old folk wisdom of questionable merit.
It does a good job of covering the research as it was at the time the book was written generally in this format:
1. Common observation by parents via example scenario.
2. Brief explanation of the mechanisms involved.
3. Overview of research on the question with experimental design and outcome.
4. Conclusions
5. Reccomendations for parents, often incuding how to replicate the studies at home.
