The Wonder Year: First year development & shaping the brain

Orson's life from birth until the end of his first year was captured in this step-by step development DVD. It provides the viewer with first-hand knowledge of complex stages of brain cortex information as the baby thrives from the responses received from his parents and input via his five senses.

We were shown how this input nurtured his brain and ensured his development progressed via continuous sensitivity, games, play and feeding routines. Hearing his parents voice will enable him to form lasting, trusting, secure relationships and help him to make sense of his world.

The DVD was divided into three sections from birth-to-three-months, three-months-to-six-months and then to the end of Orson's first year. Maria Robinson gives her expert advice throughout.

It is a good tool for all childminders and parents of newborn babies, helping to educate and enlighten them about the input their baby needs. It covers aspects of the personal, social and emotional development stepping stone in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
