Until now, however, psychologists and parenting experts have largely focused on moments of stress and confusion. Developmental psychologist Caspar Addyman decided to change that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2012, Caspar has run the Baby Laughter project, collecting data, videos, and stories from parents all over the world. This has provided a fascinating window into what babies are learning and how they develop cognitively and emotionally. Deeper than that, he has observed laughter as the purest form of human connection. It creates a bond that parents and infants share as they navigate the challenges of childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMoving chronologically through the first two years of life, \u003cem\u003eThe Laughing Baby\u003c\/em\u003e explores the origin story for our incredible abilities. In the playful daily lives of babies, we find the beginnings of art, science, music, and happiness. Our infancy is central to what makes us human, and understanding why babies laugh is key to understanding ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868873871596,"sku":"9781783527960","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27980223482822.jpg?v=1759774074","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-laughing-baby-by-caspar-addyman-9781783527960","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
