Thanks for your comment, Kia. Yes, he is adorable and loved beyond measure. Congrats for being both a nurse and a mom. Yes, times were different back then. I've been a specialist in child brain development working directly with parents for 45 years. Long before George H. W. Bush declared the 1990's the Decade of the Brain, I was teaching parents how to radically change their children's lives by taking advantage of brain plasticity. So, no questions. I've seen how the world of parenting and children has changed. However, some things never change. There has always been tummy time. The difference between when you had your babies and now is that back then almost all parents placed their kids on their tummies without a second thought. Today almost no parent puts their baby on the tummy unless they are told to do so, which is rare. Why? Because they are told that their baby will die. We have the AMA and the AAP to blame for that. The "Back to Sleep" campaign, a misguided effort to combat SIDS put the fear of God into parents. Bad idea because there is a direct relationship between the development of mobility and good brain development. As a result, today we have an epidemic of all kinds of problems - delayed and poor physical development, plagiocephaly, learning problems, behavior problems, autism, etc. If you like to know more about our work please check out www.brainfitkids.com and www.reachfamilyinstitute.org.
