You have a 1000 day window from the day your baby is born where 30 IQ Points are up for grabs. The author is a neurologist, knows of what he speaks and makes it so easy to understand that its impossible to read the book and not learn from it. Incicentally, provides the theory behind why Domans techniques work so well.

Starting well before birth, you can have a strong positove influence on your baby. This a good source of ideas, there's many other books out there on this topic, some way better than others. But this is a good start/

Before anything else except perhaps food, you and your baby need to sleep. This technique works so well it's unbelievable. It's simple and effective. Make sure you get the DVD - seeing how it works is even more useful.

Early encouragement of physical activities such as swimming will help your little one on their way. Swimming is a great activity for babies, and will help them become confident and safe in the water as they grow older.

Aside from healthy sleeping and physical exercise, what your baby eats is a key factor in their overall health. Eating well, and the intelligent use of high quality supplements at the appropriate age will give your little one a huge boost. I can't recommend this book highly enough. There's other books on this topic out there, but this is a great start.

In todays chemical and additive filled environment, organic food for your baby is rapidly becoming a MUST to ensure your babies full potential is reached. Useful book of recipes with a good explanation of "organics" and the like. Not much good teaching your baby to read if you're destroying it's potential with additive and chemical-laced food.

Teaching your baby sign language starting from shortly after birth will help develop their communication skills and allow you two-way communication before they can talk. This book is a good explanation of the theory, the DVD's below are a great way for you and your little one to learn baby sign language.

And your baby can communicate intelligently using sign language. You can share information backwards and forwards - babies are actually very smart and it's so much fun knowing they can tell you exactly what they want using signs. Eliminates a lot of crying and temper tantrums.

You really can teach your baby to read, starting at a very early age. It's simple, fun and effective. Just follow the techniques in this book.

Your baby can also easily learn multiple languages. There's some debate as to the best age to start with multiple languages, but everyone seems to agree that at around 2-3 is where toddler's are hard-wired for the "language explosion." We're finding this set very useful for helping our 2 year old learn mandarin chinese.

There's many more books by Glenn Doman out there. They're all worth reading, altho they often repeat a lot of what is in other of his books. They do focus on the basic skills - reading, math, general knowledge. But then again, early development of skills in these areas are the critical factors in giving your little one access to the world of knowledge available to them.

Same comment as above.

One of the best things you can do for your little one is develop their "emotional intelligence." Read the reviews for this book, but following the techniques here will help your little one find a secure emotional footing in a turbulent and demanding world where all is NOT fair.

I'd hazard a guess and say most educated parents have at least heard of the Suzuki Method. Read the book to give yourself an idea of what it's all about.

Worth reading to inform yourself on what is a very successful approach to early childhood education. There are other approaches, but our little guy loves his Montessori school and can't wait to get inside when we drop him off.

Terrific approach with great examples to help children become "can-do kids."

SIDS, or Cot Death, is a major cause of death for young infants & is a tragedy when it happens. Reuce YOUR risk to around 0%! Parents may be unaware of a 100% successful crib death prevention campaign which a New Zealand scientist, Dr Jim Sprott, has been running in New Zealand for ten years.
