Tools for parents
Small, free tools built around Big Bang Baby. They don't grade your child or you.
- What is my child ready for now?
Enter an age from 0 to 60 months; see what typically comes next and one or two ways to support it.
- The four forces: a self-check
Twelve statements about ordinary days, with practices from Chapter 5. A reflection, not an assessment.
- Corrected age calculator for premature babies
Age since birth and corrected age, from the birth date and weeks of pregnancy or due date.
- Baby age calculator
Exact age in days, weeks, months and years, plus the next month birthdays.
- Is this good play?
Five quick questions about any toy or activity, and one idea to make it better play.
- Daily routine builder
A printable card with a few anchors in a steady order, not clock times.
The idea behind them is from Chapter 4: replace "Is she on time?" with "What is she ready for now?" None replaces your pediatrician. Read the Introduction free.
