Description
Comprehensive, reassuring, empathetic, realistic, and practical, What to Expect the Second Year is filled with solutions, strategies, and a lot of parental pep talks. It helps parents decode the fascinating, complicated, now and again maddening, at all times adorable little person last year’s baby has turn out to be.
From the first birthday to the second, this should-have book covers everything parents want to know in an easy-to-access, topic-by-topic format, with chapters on growth, feeding, sleeping, behaviors of every possible kind, discipline (including teaching right from fallacious), and keeping a toddler healthy and secure as he or she takes on the world. There’s a developmental time line of the second year plus special “milestone” boxes right through that help parents keep track of their toddler’s development. Thinking of traveling with tot in tow? There’s a chapter for that, too.
