About this listen
What’s the single most important thing you can do during pregnancy? What does watching TV do to a child’s brain? What’s the best way to handle temper tantrums? Scientists know. In his New York Times best seller Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina showed us how our brains really work - and why we ought to redesign our workplaces and schools. Now, in Brain Rules for Baby, he shares what the latest science says about how to raise smart and happy children from zero to five. This book is destined to revolutionize parenting. Just one of the surprises: The best way to get your children into the college of their choice? Teach them impulse control. Brain Rules for Baby bridges the gap between what scientists know and what parents practice. Through fascinating and funny stories, Medina, a developmental molecular biologist and dad, unravels how a child’s brain develops - and what you can do to optimize it. You will view your children - and how to raise them - in a whole new light. You’ll learn: Where nature ends and nurture begins. Why men should do more household chores. What you do when emotions run hot affects how your baby turns out, because babies need to feel safe above all. TV is harmful for children under two. Your child’s ability to relate to others predicts her future math performance. Smart and happy are inseparable. Pursuing your child’s intellectual success at the expense of his happiness achieves neither. Praising effort is better than praising intelligence. The best predictor of academic performance is not IQ. It’s self-control. What you do right now - before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and through the first five years - will affect your children for the rest of their lives. Brain Rules for Baby is an indispensable guide.

Very informative!
The book is amazing! Especially the emphasis on empathy for maintaining a strong bond in the relationship with your spouse/baby and emotional regulation being the foundation of developing your baby’s intellectual capacity. Some parts do get boring though. The chapter on sleep is not very useful. Practical tips at the end are really helpful!Overall, worth reading!

A good read especially for first time parents
I found this book very useful and practical. It explains why and whats of children's behaviour that confuse most parents. If you don't have time to read it all, listen to the last two chapters containing the summary and can go to respective chapters accordingly. Narration is also good, especially when he quotes. Good book, go for it.
