Interested in infant cognitive development? Here is an interview (in Italian) about "Piccolamente" (English: Littlemind), the new book 📕 for parents and curious people by Stefania Benetti and myself 😊

stimolare lo sviluppo cerebrale del neonato - Nostrofiglio.it

Come stimolare lo sviluppo cerebrale del neonato? Quando riconosce i volti? A queste e ad altre domande hanno risposto i ricercatori.
