This is a great book for any parent, but particularly for those who want to minimize
the high-tech, often unnecessary, paraphernalia being pushed these days!
Parents, you will appreciate the creative ideas for entertaining your baby and
encouraging your baby’s development.

It’s great to see someone take notice of the wonderful way that experiences
while awake in prone help the infant learn essential motor skills and do not
require special expensive equipment. In addition, parents can be their child’s
first teachers of exploration, communication, social interaction, and sensory
and manipulation skill using inexpensive toys. Many parents will learn that
there are simple, easy ways to promote a baby’s development.

From the Back Cover
Because we want the best possible start for our children, most of us will
be drawn in by marketing and advertising hype from baby product
manufacturers at some point. Bouncers, walkers, carriers, electronic
toys, and “educational” videos are intended to make our daily lives easier and
our children smarter, but their overuse may also impede child development.

Retro Baby: Cut Back on All the Gear and Boost Your Baby’s Development With
More Than 100 Time-tested Activities helps parents and caregivers understand
the importance of one-on-one play with your child.
In this exceptional book featuring more than 100 activities, you’ll
¦¦ Learn how crucial connections are formed between your child’s brain and
muscles during the first year of life.
¦¦ Discover how the overuse of some baby products can hinder infant
exploration.
¦¦ Try a variety of ideas that enhance your baby’s ability to learn.
Retro Baby brings 20 years of experience in this area into your home. Anne
H. Zachry, PhD, OTR/L, understands that each family and baby have different
needs and offers flexible strategies and suggestions for playtime.
