The brain is under development. Stunning facts about mental development from conception to growing up. Goddard Marcia

“In this book, I will take you on a journey through the brain in a chronological order of its development. The journey that begins at the moment when the woman is pregnant. What happens in her head? Is it really stupid during pregnancy or is it just a myth? Do newborn tendency to social interaction show? Do fathers also experience pregnancy symptoms? And if so, how does it work? Will the child become smarter from listening to classical music? Why is it still important to be able to write by hand? I will try to explain what the behavior is based on and how the external development of behavior and skills is supported by the internal development of the brain and knowledge. I hope that I will be able to convey to you ideas that parents can use in everyday life. Even if this is just an explanation why the child leads (or does not behave) himself in a certain way. ”
