PROJECTS BY COMPLEXITY
PROJECTS BY RESEARCH AREA
W hen I was a kid, I begged Santa Claus for a Radio Shack 50-in-1 Electronic Projects Kit. The kit consisted of a circuit board with numerous capacitors, resistors, LEDs, and a buzzer for auditory output. For each project, you would connect various components with wires and then flip a switch and see what happens. It was great fun, and it contributed to my continued interest in science and engineering.
Now that Im a parent, though, Ive outgrown the Radio Shack science kit and moved on to an experimental apparatus of significantly higher complexity: the baby.
My kids are the most fun, intriguing, surprising (and exhausting) research subjects I have ever had the privilege to conduct weird and wacky experiments on. Ive spent hours upon hours trying to figure out the optimal way to hold a baby to get him to fall asleep quicklyonly to discover, as many parents have, that what works for one baby does not work at all for another. Ive tried at least 20 different techniques to get a toddler to eat his peas. (The winner: Please, whatever you do, dont eat your peas.) Ive tracked my babys acquisition of fine motor skills based on how gently he touches my faceit progresses from painful scratching to awkward poking to soft whisker stroking. Ive seen how early babies unique personalities emerge. Even at a few weeks old, you can already sense how their gears are turning by the way they look at you and observe the world around them. And there is something especially fascinating about conducting research on babies, who are themselves conducting experiments all the timewhich typically take the form, What is this thing, and what does it feel like in my mouth?
Before you begin experimenting on your own baby using the projects in this book, its important to be aware of a few caveats:
- The projects in this book are not designed to assess your babys physical or mental health, intelligence, or any other aspect of his motor, cognitive, or behavioral development, nor are they intended to tell you whether your baby is developmentally on schedule or whether he measures up. Rather, theyre intended to demonstrate principles of infant development in a fun, easy-to-digest way. So dont approach these projects as challenges that your baby must complete in order to keep up with the Joneses kid (or the Einsteins).
