Brainy babies Fancourt, Robin - Auckland, N.Z. Penguin 2000 - 191 p.

This book discusses the developmental processes of a child's brain, from conception to toddler-age, as it learns, understands and relates to others in day-to-day experiences.

The author provides some accounts of children in abuse/neglect living situations versus children not living in abuse/neglect living situations and the parenting skills that occurred within each situation. Each chapter of the book concludes with chapter summary facts, and tips for parents, childcare workers and/or workers in adolescent services.
