Ten Speed Press You Are Your Child's First Teacher, Third Edition: Encouraging Your Child's Natural Development from Birth to Age Six

This book has been the most helpful and eye opening book. It really helped me understand what my daughter needed at each age and how my everyday actions help her learn. It showed how little you need in terms of 'things' and helped me see how my daughter saw things. An absolute must for any parent.

very use book to keep as your baby/ kid grows well thought out and with lots of tips one of the best books bought

Great book for all parents to read and better understand the world from a child's perspective. Both my husband and I have read it and recommend it to all our family and friends.

This is the most important book I have read in years. The essence is its basis on the physical emotional social and spiritual development of the child

I would highly recommend this book to all "normal " parents, there seems to be a tendancy nowadays to look for books, shows and other instruments to make your child smarter, nicer, a little Einstein, well...this book is not one of them. It's a very nice book that has a simple yet great message:let your child enjoy his/her childhood at his/her own pace while you slowly introduce rhythm, music, storytelling, painting and other interesting activities. The book is well structered, each chapter has a specific theme, ex how your baby develops, how he acquires language, how establishing rhythm can make your life and his/hers easier, etc, a theme that is nicely developed and followed by a list of other possible readings. Although this book is written by a Waldorf teacher, i find it conveys opinions that match both Waldorf and non Waldorf parents.A must have for all parents.
