4. Welcome to the Brazelton Institute!
• The Brazelton Institute is dedicated to
promoting the healthy development of
infants and families, through research and
education programs for people who care
for children and their families in the first
years of life. The Institute is based in the
Department of Pediatrics at the Children's
Hospital in Boston

5. Understanding the Baby's
Language
• While babies may not
speak their first word
for a year, they are
born ready to
communicate with a
rich vocabulary of
body movements,
cries and visual
responses: all part of
the complex language
of infant behavior.

6. The Neonatal Behavioral
Assessment Scale
• First, infants, even ones
that seem vulnerable, are
highly capable when they
are born. "A newborn
already has nine months
of experience when she
is born," Dr. Brazelton
notes. "She is capable of
controlling her behavior in
order to respond to her
new environment."

7. • Second, babies "communicate" through
their behavior, which, although it may not
always seem like it, is a rational language.
Not only do infants respond to cues
around them, like their parents' face, but
they also take steps to control their
environment, such as crying to get a
response from their caregivers.

8. • Third, infants are social organisms,
individuals with their own individuality,
ready to shape as well as be shaped by
the caregiving environment.
