About this title

Synopsis

Being a parent is one of life's most rewarding experiences, but it can also be one of the most daunting. This resourceful and engaging guide demystifies children's behavior and provides readers with all the tools they need for becoming confident and happy parents. Written by a child psychologist and parenting expert, it covers typical behavior from infancy through age 8. Practical matters such as eating habits, potty training, and bedtimes are discussed in-depth, along with more complicated issues such as bullying, shyness, and sibling rivalry. Sound advice, smart tips, and colorful charts and sidebars will show parents how to respond to their child's emotional needs and build a loving, lasting relationship.
