Description
A fully illustrated hands-on guide for working with babies on their physical, social, and cognitive development written by seasoned somatics practitioner Beverly Stokes, Your Self-Motivated Baby encourages caregivers to interact with children for mutual benefit. The interaction builds bonding and subtly encourages steady development for the infant. Although babies at this age may seem to be largely immobile and unresponsive beings, Stokes makes it clear that they are giving cues for caregiver participation early on.
