Your Toddler Month By Month
Important points that are touched upon in multiple areas of this book include play, common behaviors, brain development and motor and communication skills, toilet training and more. These are all supplemented with timelines on what to expect when, as well as pointers for watching out for some warning signs of poor development and even signs of abuse
There’s a section all about managing terrible-two (and three and four!) behavior and how to appropriately reinforce positive behavioral patterns in your child. I absolutely love this one, because I need all the help I can get. I’m going to be honest. I am a pushover of a mother. Basically, I’ll give in to almost anything to stop littleQ from screaming his lungs out in a closed and maxed out elevator or in the meat section of Waldbaum’s.
All in all I think this book is comprehensive enough to earn a spot on your nightstand or on your bookshelf. The guide is easy to thumb through by age range, and of course also includes an index that’ll help you get to just the right topic you’re looking for. A list of parenting resources and organizations is even included in the back of the book, making Your Toddler Month By Month
