Overview

Brain development MILESTONES and learning was motivated by the need for a practical plan of action for parents and caregivers to optimise the most sensitive time of neurological development as well as a practical plan of action for parents and teachers of school going children who, as babies, had skipped a developmental milestone or completed their milestones out of sequence and is still subjected to the influence of the primitive reflexes' first call on brain activity. This culture sensitive book promises to enable parents and caregivers to prevent learning problems at school and in life. It also shows what an older child can do to play developmental catch-up if he/she has skipped a motor milestone as a baby.
