New father A. Gray reviews Your Resilient Child by Peter Walker:

Walker by name, walker by nature. As my child approaches 11 months old, Peter Walker’s book on developmental baby massage and milestone enablement has been an invaluable guide. The book has not only helped me track my child’s development but also empowered me to actively participate in her growth journey.

My baby seemed to be struggling with achieving a second sitting position, but with Peter Walker’s guidance, I was able to assist her progress using the powerful suggestions outlined in the book. Although my daughter is not yet walking, I will continue to use this resource as she develops her independence further.

My only critique would be that the illustrations could be enhanced with QR links to video examples to prevent any potential misinterpretations.

Overall, Your Resilient Child is an excellent read for any parent looking to support their child’s development.
