Aha, já rostu! – van de Rijtová Hetty (2019)

Ten miraculous weeks in your child's mental and physical development during the first twenty months of their life Hetty van de Rijt, Ph.D. and Frans X. Plooij, Ph.D., a couple who have studied the relationships between parents and their children for over 35 years, have noticed sensitive periods in a child's development. The book describes ten miraculous and challenging weeks in the life of a newborn, infant, and toddler in the first twenty months of their life. It offers guidance on how to best support and stimulate the mental and physical development of the child during these periods and how, from a parent's perspective, to cope with and overcome the inexplicable changes in their moods and eating habits. It supports and reassures parents, especially mothers, in their daily care of the child, explaining the reasons for their inexplicable crying, restless behavior, and deteriorating sleep quality. For each period, it recommends appropriate activities, fun games, and suitable toys, and highlights new skills and abilities that emerge in the child after overcoming a challenging phase.
