Summary
Diary of a Baby: What Your Child Sees, Feels, and Experiences by renowned child psychiatrist Daniel N. Stern, M.D., offers a fascinating and deeply insightful journey into the mind of an infant. Drawing from decades of clinical research, Stern bridges scientific understanding and accessible narrative to reveal how babies perceive the world around them long before they can speak. Through the use of fictional diary entries written from a baby's perspective, the author guides readers through developmental milestones, shedding light on how infants experience sight, sound, emotions, and relationships. This approach brings warmth and humanity to what could otherwise be a purely clinical subject, making it engaging for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone curious about early cognitive and emotional development. The book inspires a sense of wonder at the complexity of infant consciousness and emphasizes the profound responsibility of nurturing emotional connections. Thoughtful, well-researched, and beautifully written, Diary of a Baby is a must-read for those who want to understand the earliest building blocks of human experience.
