Met mijn eerste baby wist ik vaak niet hoe ik haar moest bezighouden zonder speelgoed te kopen. Dit cursus zit vol met simpele spelletjes per leeftijdsfase, van tummy time tot kiekeboe-spelletjes die de motoriek stimuleren. Ik merk echt dat ze alerter reageert en meer brabbelt sinds we dit dagelijks doen. De uitleg over wat een baby per maand aankan was heel verhelderend. Alleen het hoofdstuk over slaap had wat uitgebreider gemogen, verder een aanrader voor nieuwe ouders.

Mình là mẹ lần đầu nên rất bỡ ngỡ không biết chơi gì với con sơ sinh. Khóa học chia hoạt động theo từng tháng tuổi nên cực kỳ dễ áp dụng, từ trò úp mặt tập ngóc đầu đến mấy trò kích thích thị giác. Bé nhà mình giờ biết với tay lấy đồ và cười nhiều hơn hẳn. Phần giải thích về phát triển vận động và cảm xúc giúp mình hiểu con đang ở giai đoạn nào. Thật sự rất đáng để học cho các mẹ bỉm.
