Brain Rules For Baby

Brain Rules for Baby by Dr. John Medina offers science-backed insights into early childhood development, focusing on the first five years. Drawing from neuroscience and psychology, Medina explores how genetics (the "seed") and environment (the "soil") shape a child's brain. He emphasizes the importance of a loving, low-stress environment, proper nutrition, and adequate sleep during pregnancy. Post-birth, he advises on fostering emotional security, the dangers of excessive screen time, and the value of play over structured learning. Medina also highlights the significance of self-control and empathy in a child's future success and happiness.
