By 4 months of age, babies' brains hv already tracked how attentive parents are, how good they are at coordinating their responses to a baby's communicative bid. FOUR MONTHS. Astounding. I've been talking abt that alot recently. Here's a THREAD that explores that idea a bit more.

Schools and local authorities - sign up children for our #LetterboxClub now and we'll start sending them parcels of books, stationery and more from May! Find out more here: booktrust.org.uk/what-we-do/…
A quote from foster carer Maria: 'These kids don't receive that many parcels through the post, so it really is a lovely thing for them... The children will put the books in their bedroom on their bookshelves and take them with them when they leave. It may be the first book that they own'
