An imaginative manual to help you develop your baby's language skills from the word go, tapping into any child's maximum potential. The author is a British speech and language therapist who developed the BabyTalk programme from a scheme to help children who showed early delay in language development. Independent assessment demonstrated that it enabled them to progress to their expected ability and beyond, so the idea that it might help all children grew. The scheme is claimed to boost language development and learning potential, and involves just half an hour of play-time daily, suitable from birth up to around age four. (Kirkus UK)
