Psychological studies show that the period from birth to 3 years is a critical period for the development of various abilities in humans. The growth and development during this stage will have a lifelong impact. Around 1.5 years old, the ability to pay attention intentionally begins to emerge, which is very meaningful for the overall development of intelligence; after 2 years old, the ability to observe things in a decompositional way begins to emerge, which enhances the ability to grasp the details and differences of objects, promoting the rapid development of abstract thinking ability and imagination; at 3 years old, the imagination takes flight, and the ability to think concretely and vividly begins to emerge, entering the critical period for the development of creative ability.
Before the age of 3, a baby’s brain cell organization develops fully, making their senses, memory, thinking, and imagination highly sensitive, and their ability to imitate rapidly developing. It also lays an important foundation for 80% to 90% of their fine motor skills for the rest of their life.

Pavlov said a very classic line: “The baby is two days too late for education, who should begin on the third day after birth.” It is also based on this early education concept that the book, in addition to the growth record mentioned above, expands the content from the newborn stage to some corresponding daily training and scientific cultivation plans. We believe that these will help you better seize the critical period of your baby’s growth and give him the most appropriate guidance and cultivation.
It is hoped that this book can be of certain help to new mothers and fathers in taking care of the physical and mental health of their babies, and can provide inspiration and guidance to parents and caregivers who are eager to give their children the best start in life.
