Baby Talk. First Years Together. Project Enlightenment.
Carothers, Linda, Ed.; Wilson, Val, Ed.
This series of 19 newsletters is designed to be distributed monthly to parents of premature or high risk infants on their child's adjusted age birthday from birth through 18 months. Each newsletter describes activities and behaviors of infants and toddlers appropriate to the month of age and discusses issues of concern to the parents. Regular topics include safety, discipline, and "premie notes," a section that addresses the particular characteristics or problems associated with prematurity and its effect on later development. For ages 3-12 months activities typical of infant behavior or which the baby will enjoy having the parent initiate are listed under the headings of moving, playing, thinking, and communicating. Other topics covered for specific ages include going home from the hospital (newborn), when to call the doctor (2 months), settling into a routine (3 months), the father's role (6 months), communicating (11 months), and imitation (12 months). Additional newsletters focus on such topics as thinking about another pregnancy, play as learning, setting limits for toddlers, and encouraging self-esteem. (VW)
