Summary

Practical advice for parents on the interaction among their child's muscular, mental, and motor development. According to pediatric physical therapist Losquadro-Liddle, playful interaction beginning in infancy is crucial to a child's cognitive skills, language, speech, and overall emotional balance. Filled with practical, age-appropriate activities for newborns up to five years old, this book shows parents how to understand their child's development; integrate touch, movement, and body awareness during playtime; bolster motor skills; and develop appropriate play for each age level.--From publisher description
