The Risk Factors in Infant Stimulation and Development
Infants thrive on and need stimulation to ensure proper development. By stimulating your infant’s senses, you’re encouraging communication, interaction and learning.

Someone actually wrote that my involvement sounded like a publicity ploy. My first reaction was disappointment at how jaded people are, then I thought: So what!
