Playing with My Infant: All you need to know about development-boosting “Play”


Playing with My Infant was first published in Turkey in 2014. The first publication sold out in forty days. It is currently one of the best-selling childcare books in Turkey. This is the first book of its kind, which explores developmentally appropriate skill- building games to play with infants (newborn to 6 months old) and also guides parents in establishing effective and consistent communication with their babies. The book provides play activities in order of development and offers parents a checklist to evaluate development in the following areas: motor development, cognitive development, language development, social- emotional development. PLAYING WITH MY INFANT is not only a book which consists of play activities. It is also a guidebook for parents to understand their babies and to build a multi-dimensional relationship with them.


While a few other books have been written on playing with infants, no one book has done all of the following:
- Playing with My Infant offers parents comprehensive information on: Why to Play? How to Play? When to Play? Where to Play? What to Play? Other books have focused on only one or a couple of these topics.
- Playing with My Infant, unlike other baby-play books, provides in-depth information about the development of the baby and helps the parent get to know her/his baby. The book shows the parent how to develop strong communication with the infant. Further below is an example of a diagram which is available for each of the play activities in the book.
- The 101 play activities described in Playing with My Infant systematically differ from other books. The activities are organized into 6 groups beginning with the first month, going up to the 6th month. They are also categorized by developmental contribution to the baby: physical, cognitive, lingual and social-emotional. Parents know that the quality of time spent playing with their babies directly contributes to the development of critical skills and abilities in the baby.
- The book also comes with a toy list as well as a checklist to track infant development.
