New born babies have a wide range of behaviors used to communicate with the adults around them â the language of yawning, the varied and rich range of crying, sense of touch, their feeding and sleeping, listening to your voice and recognizing your face.
Kevin Nugent, Ph.D., author of âYour Baby Is Speaking to You: A Visual guide to the Amazing Behaviors of Your Newborn and Growing Baby,â is the director of the Brazelton Institute at Childrenâs Hospital, in Boston, Massachusetts, where he has studied newborn infants and early parent-child relations for thirty plus years. This book reveals how infants are able to communicate with the adults around them.
We visited by phone with Dr. Nugent from his home near Boston, on January 14, 2011 and began with his description of the research that resulted in his book âYour Baby is Speaking to You.â
The book Kevin Nugent recommends is "Touchpoints-Birth to Three," by T. Berry Brazelton.
