Join us at Librarian Oasis as we explore John Medina’s fascinating book, "Brain Rules for Baby: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five." This isn't just a review; it's a deep dive into the science of early childhood development. We unpack Medina's key insights, from the importance of a healthy pregnancy to the power of play, and discuss the crucial role of sleep, language, empathy, and moral development in shaping a baby’s brain. We'll also examine the significance of creating a safe and nurturing environment to foster learning, and discuss why real human interaction is more important than fancy toys and educational videos. Whether you're a new parent, a grandparent, or simply curious about how babies learn, this episode is for you!
