The first tape in each kit presents the latest information on the growth and development during that particular stage.

 

The second tape addresses 4 questions parents are likely to have about each age level and includes the 16 "Things to Do" activities.

 

The  full-color "Things To Do" brochure outlines 16 specific things parents can do to enhance their child's growth and development during each stage. Parents keep these brochures.
