The Wonder Weeks

The Wonder Weeks is rated 3 out of 5 in the category health. Read and write reviews about The Wonder Weeks. It’s not your imagination - all babies go through a difficult period around the same age. Research has shown that babies make 10 major, predictable, age-linked changes (leaps), during their first 20 months of their lives. During this time, they will learn more than at any other time. With each leap comes a drastic change in your baby’s mental development, which affects not only his/her mood, but also his/her health, intelligence, sleeping patterns and the "three C’s"​ (crying, clinging and crankiness). Babies cry during a leap because they’ve reached a radical new step in their mental development. That is good: it gives them the opportunity to learn new things. The "difficult"​ behaviour is actually a signal that great progress is underway. Like the physical growth spurts that a child makes, the mental development of children is also made with leaps. Neurological research has shown that such leaps are accompanied by changes in the brain. Via our multiple platforms, The Wonder Weeks explains exactly: - When your baby is taking a leap - How to help your baby through a leap - How your baby perceives the 'new'​ world - How to make the most of this leap
