Babies can be a joy-and hard work. Now, they can also be a 50-in-1 science project kit.
Shaun Gallagher, a father of two ongoing science experiments, is a writer and a former magazine and newspaper editor. He also runs the popular website Correlated.org, which analyzes statistical data to find funny and surprising correlations. He lives in Wilmington, Delaware
"Experimenting with Babies is a wonderful book, giving parents a
hands-on way to understand their baby's emerging mind. The
experiments are easy, fun, and nicely annotated with the real
science behind them. What a fabulous way for parents to get
to know their new child!"
—Lise Eliot, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the
Chicago Medical School of Rosalind Franklin University and author
of What's Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the
First Five Years of Life
“With the marketplace urging parents to buy all manner of things to
make their babies ‘smart,’ Gallagher’s book offers parents a view
based in science on how much babies really know and figure out on
their own. Parents will have fun with this book and gain new
respect and awe for their babies’ amazing capabilities.”
—Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Ph.D., H. Rodney Sharp Professor,
University of Delaware and coauthor of How Babies Talk, Einstein
Never Used Flash Cards, and a Mandate for Playful Learning in
Preschool
