Focusing on children's growth in four key areas-physical, cognitive, emotional, and social-the guide covers parents' vital questions on everything from how to differentiate between the feelings of a two-year-old and those of a five-year-old to how to choose child care, how to cope with bullies, and how to talk with your children about significant life passages such as new siblings, divorce, and death. Unrivaled in its scope and authority, the guide is destined to become the standard by which all other books on child development are measured. Average Rating:
