Bright Toddler: Understand and Stimulate Your Child's Development

This companion volume to Doctor Woolfson's Bright Baby covers child development from approximately 15 months to age three. Introductory topics include sibling rivalry, gender differences, childcare arrangements for working parents, a toddler's way of nonverbal communication, coping with tantrums, eating habits, potty training, bedtime and sleep patterns, dealing with shyness, and encouraging the child's sense of self-confidence. The book's chapters are organized as follows: general development charts, body movement, hand-eye coordination, language, learning skills and activities, and a child's social and emotional development. Delightful full-color photos on every page plus many informative sidebars make this an unusually attractive and helpful book for parents of very young children.
