Publisher's Summary
What’s the single most important thing you can do during pregnancy? What does watching TV do to a child’s brain? What’s the best way to handle temper tantrums? Scientists know.
In his New York Times best seller Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina told us how our brains really work—and why we ought to redesign our workplaces and schools. Now, in Brain Rules for Baby, he shares what the latest science says about how to raise smart and happy children from zero to 5. This book is destined to revolutionize parenting. Just one of the surprises: The best way to get your children into the college of their choice? Teach them impulse control.
Brain Rules for Baby bridges the gap between what scientists know and what parents practice. Through fascinating and funny stories, Medina, a developmental molecular biologist and dad, unravels how a child’s brain develops--and what you can do to optimize it.You will view your children—and how to raise them—in a whole new light.
You’ll learn:
- Where nature ends and nurture begins
- Why men should do more household choresWhat you do when emotions run hot affects how your child turns out
- TV is harmful for children under 2
- Your child’s ability to relate to others predicts her future math performance
- Smart and happy are inseparable
- Pursuing your child’s intellectual success at the expense of his happiness achieves neither
- Praising effort is better than praising intelligence
- The best predictor of academic performance is not IQ. It’s self control
- What you do right now—before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and through the first five years—will affect your children for the rest of their lives.
Brain Rules for Baby is an indispensable guide.

Toxic feminism when it’s meant to be about encouraging good brain development in babies
In chapter three this author goes on a rant about how men should do more housework to even the load. Studies have shown when men do more housework their (female) spouses find them less attractive and their relationship suffers.
This man seriously needs to read The Myth of Male Power. That book even mentions how new fathers typically increase how much they work after becoming a parent, to better provide financially for their families. Men will go through hell and back for those they love, often illustrated by highest death rates from more men than women taking on dangerous, deadly work. This author needs to do better research, based on this I don’t trust anything else he’s written.
