Your baby is trying to tell you something. And learning to understand her is the first step in becoming a better parent---and in providing the basis for a well adjusted, sociable adulthood. Now, you can pinpoint your baby's individual learning CODE. * The V CODE: is your baby content to stare at the little clowns on her blanket, or a picture of another baby? Watch out--you might just have a V coder! * The A CODE: The colorful mobile holds no interest for her. But the music box sounds make her giggle, shriek and "talk" all through the night----she's an A coder. * The K CODE: You've considered putting her on a lease, she wiggles and crawls so much. She gets into every nook and cranny, and even falls asleep while standing! WOW---you've got a K coder!
