    Last week I shared a flight with a crying infant who, despite his mother’s best efforts, wasn’t easily calmed in the minutes just before and after takeoff. I was amazed by the level of anger it provoked among several fellow passengers - and one man in particular, who kept

    When and how does a baby’s love begin? The truth is that your baby begins falling in love with you even before you meet, becoming aware of (and learning to prefer) your voice during the final months in utero. (It may feel strange, but seriously, talk to your bump.) After

    Boop! So taken by how this little one steps in to comfort her crying sister. Watch carefully and you’ll see that she models behaviors that have almost certainly been used to comfort and distract her during times of sadness. She comes in close to make eye contact. She offers

    Treasure this moment, Dad. What you’re seeing here is a posture known as the “newborn scrunch” - legs and arms tucked in close to the chest. It mimics the fetal position most babies adopt during the final weeks in utero and provides them a sense of comfort and security after

    Here’s one of the most fascinating child development videos I’ve ever shared. As your baby learns language, they begin by approximating the examples you set. After a period of early experimentation with sound (including cries, coos and gurgles), infants begin babbling -

    I couldn’t love this game any more if I tried. Watch how mom engages baby in a two step process here. There’s the gentle head tilt and the “ahhh” sound. Initially baby manages the tilt, but not the sound. So what does mom do? She adds it for her and keeps the game going.

    You’re never too busy to show kindness to a child. When this preschooler showed up for a race (on his pedal-less strider bike) at the local BMX park, his family discovered that he was the only one in his age group to attend. A group of teenagers there to compete in their own

    Read to your newborn. 📚 With hearing developing during the final months of gestation, it’s never too early to begin reading to your baby. And this mom is giving us an absolute master class in how to do it right. Note first that she’s reading face-to-face. At this age (10

    “Hi baby girl!” Imitation is a critical driver of early language development. I dare you not to smile at this amazing serve and return conversation between Ali and her mother.

    Do babies develop accents even before they can speak conventionally? The short answer is yes… and these linguistic markers begin even sooner than you might think. So many of you tagged me in this video yesterday featuring an infant that babbles with the same Scouse accent as

    Children learn what they live. When morning sickness overcame this mom, her toddler stepped in to provide comfort and support - modeling the very same language and behavior to which she, herself, has grown accustomed. There’s nothing being given here that this sweet little

    Your baby doesn’t need screens. 📺 Your baby doesn’t need expensive “educational” toys. Your baby needs you. Your time. Your love. Your undivided attention. Watch this little one’s eyes as he interacts with his dad. They never once leave the most beautiful sight he knows:
