What are the critical periods in child development?

So, what exactly are the critical periods in child development? 

Some people are surprised to learn that the first one is the PRENATAL period, not infancy.  So, the stages of fetal development are truly critical to your developing baby.

The prenatal period is the time from conception to birth. It is a time of tremendous growth-from a single cell to an organism, complete with a brain and behavioral capabilities, produced in approximately a nine-month period.  So - the very first critical period in child development is when you are pregnant - and this is when learning begins!

During this first critical period, why not use the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System?  This simple set of educational sounds (mommy's heartbeat) is a curriculum developed from over 30 years of clinical research.  BabyPlus parents report that, at birth and infancy, babies more readily nurse, have an increased ability to self-soothe, are more interactive and responsive, and are more interactive and alert at birth.

BabyPlus parents also report that, later in life, BabyPlus babies demonstrate earlier developmental milestones, improved school readiness, enhanced intellectual abilities, greater creativity and independence, and longer attention spans.

Every parent should provide this curriculum opportunity for their baby while in the womb.
