Diary Of A Baby

Daniel Stern, MD, has created an extraordinary guide to the peculiarities of early child development from birth to four years of age. The book is written primarily to answer questions about the inner life of a child: what is happening in a baby’s mind when he looks at your face or at something as simple as a sunspot on the wall; what does a baby feel when he is hungry, when he is sad, when he is separated from his parents? The author explores the development of the baby from the preverbal period to the time when language appears and the child can speak for himself. The book will help parents become experts in reading nonverbals.

As a clinician, a psychiatrist specializing in early childhood, Daniel Stern has observed and treated disorders in the relationship between parents and infants for almost thirty years. This research and clinical experience formed the basis of the book. For a more detailed study of the world of infants, the author provides a selected bibliography of the main results of research on the topic.
