Top Tips for Tiny Tots is based on our understanding that the brain exists primarily as a system that seeks to interpret the information coming in from the senses. Our ‘mind’ then seeks to assign a significance or meaning for this information. At the most basic level, we seek to interpret patterns that mean threat or opportunity, reward or danger.
It is our interpretation of these patterns and trends that we call ‘intelligence’.
The Tiny Tot who can interpret more patterns may be said to be more intelligent, or at least more equipped to cope with the complexities of ‘reality’. It is this equipping of the Tot’s brain that is more readily explained today thanks to scientific advancement. Top Tips for Tiny Tots seeks to pull this all together in a useful, practical manner for parents.

“I look forward to having the opportunity to introduce this site to parents, school staff and pupils. It is immediately engaging and highly motivational. I especially like the family learning angle of this product as it is wholly possible for a family with a young baby or an expected baby to use this together in their preparations. I intend to recommend it immediately with a group of schools which have classes of primary pupils working with very young mothers and fathers in tracking and discussing the development of the baby “attached” to the class.
An excellent product with enormous potential. I look forward to more in the series.”
Joost Soetens – Parent - Holland
