Description
An all-time classic! Since the extended family no longer lives nearby, new parents often turn to courses for advice on child care.
The authors of the successful "What To Expect" series offer a volume on the second and third years of life. This course contains 900 pages of useful information divided into four sections.
The first part concerns development, milestones, pediatric checkups, and parental concerns, but the authors add valuable material on what parents should know and what they should teach toddlers.
Part 2 on health and safety covers general care, nutrition, home safety, first aid, toilet training, and caring for children with special needs.
Part 3 offers important information on the toddler in the family, including issues such as sibling rivalry, parenting techniques, working parents, child care, adoption, divorce, and death.
Part 4 is a ready-course source offering activity suggestions, recipes, home remedies, the symptoms and treatment of common illnesses, and forms for charting growth, health history, and memorable moments.
Easy to use, affordable, and reassuring, it encourages parents to enjoy their children. What To Expect: The Toddler Years belongs in all parenting collections.
