What's My Baby Thinking?: Practical Child Psychology for Modern Parents -- Tanith Carey, Paperback

Right from the day your baby is born, they are thinking - they have a lot to learn and figure out!

Your baby also has a strong desire to communicate, but it isn't always easy to work out just what they are trying to tell you. In this fascinating, research-led book, parenting author Tanith Carey and Clinical Psychologist Dr Angharad Rudkin explain just what your new baby might be thinking, in 75 typical scenarios, from newborn to two years old.

What's My Baby Thinking? looks in depth at your baby's brain development, the neuroscience of behavior, how babies learn, attachment and communication. It explores everyday parenting experiences, from birth to two, to help you see the world from your baby's point of view. Written in an engaging Q&A format, the topics covered include: What is my baby looking at? Does my baby have favorite people? Can my baby understand what I'm saying? Why does my baby love peekaboo? Is my baby musical?

In keeping with the series style, there are 'Parenting survival guides' throughout, for a deep dive into key topics such as Sleep Development, Twin Thinking and Separation Anxiety. Fully illustrated, and packed with practical advice on how to meet your baby's developmental needs, this book will be a fascinating and useful book for all new parents.
