What to Expect The Toddler Years Paperback – Unabridged, January 11, 1994

I do realize you can buy this by ebook which is fine. However, I prefer have a book in my possession and I highly recommend buying this book for 1st time parents

If you want a quick reference to clear your mind of some questions you might have about your toddler, this is your book, with a decent and straightforward approach to tricky and embarassing situations that our toddler may have, it still has that "casual" feeling of talking to your next door neighboor, it gives general ways to treat those issues, and its a guide to be a gentle loving parent, if you want a medical approach, this is not your book, but wouldn't be bad to have it in your library.

This has is a treasure of information for new parents.And as every child is different, its helpful even if your newborn is not your first.There are helpful habits in there for you to develop as you handle different situations, so its good to read it early. I'd do it before they crawl.It is a bit long so if you don't mind a long read this is for you. If you want something more condensed then you may want to look for something newer and more condensed.

This is an enormously helpful guide to parenting your toddler, from feeding to safety to dealing with your own emotions in the face of an irrational toddler. The book is comprehensive in its month-by-month guide as well as the special sections on toilet training and other crucial topics. However, I am struck by the fact that this edition was completed before the Internet became the vast resource that it is today. This is not to say that the information provided here can be found as easily or in such a comprehensive manner on the Internet. It's just that there are numerous additional resources to be tapped on the Net and it would be helpful to sees references to those resources as part of the chapters or even specific sections. Also, as a mother of twins I am particularly sensitive to information (or lack thereof) on raising multiples. Yes, there are books out there especially geared to parenting multuples, but this book almost acts as if multiples don't exist. There was one tiny little section near the end, but that was it. With women having children later, there has been an enormous multiples baby boom. It would be nice of this book has more advice for those parents. For example, the book states "Never leave your toddler alone in the car for even a moment." This is completely unrealistic if you have multiples. Especially in your own driveway, you often need to leave one child alone (strapped into the car seat) for a moment while you bring the other into the house and put him in a safe area while you go get the other one. I would prefer that the book offered advice on how to handle these situations safely when you have multiples.

Very informative and interesting..!! You can search any topic and find reliable information and tips to handle all your tot's issues.It is very helpful and true..!! You won't regret to buy it..!! I'm always worry about how to handle some situations with my tot..!! I love him and I just want to be able to guide him in an effective way.

You can't go wrong with the "What to expect" books, I have found. I used the first one, "What to expect the first year," throughout my son's first year. It's such an awesome reference to have on hand. Although I haven't needed to use this one as much -- he gets sick less frequently now, whenever I do have an issue, such as a rash on his neck, or dry skin on his legs, or vaccine-related concerns, this is a great place to refer. It's also come in handy when I need help in the middle of the night and don't think it's necessarily an emergency per se.

This is my go to book whenever I have questions. I skim it each month to see what the developmental milestones are. I love the way it is organized. I've always been able to find answers to my questions quickly. I have yet to come across a question this book doesn't answer. It is packed full of information.

My son and daughter in law have (soon to be) 3 boys under 2 and 1/2 years old! I bought the what to expect books for all 3 ages for my daughter in law for Christmas! No young mom wants nagging advice, but most seek the knowledge to be the best mommies they can be, so I think she will love them!!
