Have you ever wondered what is going on in the head of a (your) baby or toddler?
This book will answer your question: A lot!, even statistics!
Though citing a lot of experiments and scientific work it is an easy read and entertaining.
A lot of the research is quite new, so it might also be a good way to update your knowledge.
If you are familiar with the prisoner experiment: Here you can also read how
toddlers would act in this experiment! We definitively could learn from them.

The classical view of babies' minds was that they didn't really think much and they weren't very interesting. But that's not the experience of any parent. This book suggests that in fact, babyhood is the most interesting and challenging time, when intrinsic understanding and implicit beliefs about the world are formed that shape the adult to come. It's not easy to prove these beliefs and understanding in pre-verbal children, but this book summarises the fascinating and revealing work that has been done to elucidate them. Play is the work of the child; through play they can experiment with objects and with roles and develop their own philosophy of life.
