Books, videos or other resources for educating my baby?

Question

He's still a newborn (2 months), but I'd like to start finding great books, videos (NOT Baby Einstein) or other resources where I can learn the tools for teaching him from an early age to speak, read, count and begin mathematics. Got any great suggestions?

Answer 1

There are an overwhelming number of child development resources online. Tufts University has developed the Child and Family Webguide. It basically indexes various child and family websites on a variety of topics and includes summaries and reviews of these websites: http://www.cfw.tufts.edu/

For links to various Federal government resources for parents of babies and preschoolers, see: http://www.usa.gov/Topics/Parents_Babies...

Many states also offer free parenting kits. For example, here is the kit offered by First 5 to California parents: http://www.ccfc.ca.gov/kit.asp
