Synopsis:

All in one place for the first time, parents can find answers to the many questions that come up all through a childhood.

--Should I pick my baby up when he cries?
--How much babyproofing do I need to do?
--What should I do about temper tantrums?
--Is my child too dependent on me?
--Can too much praise backfire?
--How can I enhance my child's self-image?
--Should I give an allowance?
--How should I handle fads with my pre-teen and teenager?
--Can my older child stay alone after school?

Answers to these and hundreds of other questions (more than 200 in all) are given in a thoughtful and balanced manner, allowing parents to choose the solution that will work best for them and their family.
