Your Resilient Child, Peter Walker

This book originates from what babies and children have shown me during some forty years or more of practice. Childhood leaves a lasting imprint on our lives, and especially the crucial period from conception to two and a half years of age, often referred to as the first 1001 critical days.

Your Resilient Child is about the milestones on that journey from birth to standing, and ways in which parents and other caregivers can help that process along, through massage and ‘therapeutic play’ – even when a baby’s development is delayed by illness or other factors. Although the basic stages of physical growth are universal for every child, for those experiencing a problem with one or another of these milestones, taking action sooner rather than later is key. With a combination of warmth and purposeful play, Your Resilient Child can enable every parent and carer to guide their child towards a path of typical developmental progress.

Black & White in Color, Tana Hoban

From the acclaimed and bestselling creator Tana Hoban, this sturdy accordion-format board book features iconic black-and-white images of recognizable objects from a child’s world accompanied by full-color photographs of babies interacting with those objects.

Before babies can see color clearly, they respond to the high contrast between black and white. This accordion-style foldout board book is sturdy enough to stand on its own, is ideal for little hands, and features Tana Hoban’s bold and iconic black-and-white images of familiar objects along with full-colour photographs of adorable babies interacting with those objects.
