A few years ago a young mother watched her husband diaper(给...... 换尿布) their firstborn son. "You don’t have to be so unhappy about it," she protested. "You can talk to him and smile a little." The father, who happened to be a psychologist, answered firmly, "He has nothing to say to me, and I have nothing to say to him."
Psychologists now know how wrong that father was. From the moment of birth, a baby has a great deal to say to his parents and they to him. But a decade or so ago, these experts were describing the newborn as a primitive creature who reacted only by reflex, a helpless victim of its environment without capacity to influence it. And mothers accepted the truth. Most thought (and some still do) that a new infant could see only blurry shadows, that his other senses were undeveloped, and that all he required was nourishment, clean diapers, and a warm bassinet.

A. What people know about newborns.
B. How wrong parents are when they handle their babies.
C. How much newborns have progressed in about a decade's time.
D. Why the first month of life is the most significant four weeks in a lifetim
