Drawing from the latest science combined with the heart-warming wisdom and experience of parents from around the world, and narrated by Noah Wyle, this timely film helps us understand what babies truly are, what they know, and how we can support them to be their best as they develop and grow. Far from being "unaware" this film reveals that even before birth, each baby is capable of feeling, communicating, learning and experiencing. The experiences we have in the earliest parts of our life provide the foundation for our developing brain and deeply influence the way we will perceive the events of our lives.
These early interactions shape our human ability to learn, to trust, and to develop relationships as we grow older. This film directly challenges the idea that babies want "more" or "the best" - but instead shows how science is revealing what many parents knew all along: babies need to be welcomed with close and loving contact with their parents in order to develop to their full potential.
Far from being a pessimistic film, this documentary is told with heart and hope, offering parents, families and loving communities practical insights that help us to provide what babies not only want - but what they need - in order to thrive and flourish.
This groundbreaking documentary is a must-see for anyone who cares for, or about, a new child and many will find this is a profoundly affirming and inspiring documentary.
