When I was finished with the "What to expect the first year", I just felt like I still needed some guidance, so I enjoyed having this book. It gave me good ideas...like how to cope with tantrums and feeding toddlers, and lots of different random topics.
I forgot I read this a few years ago, super informative and very helpful to help me know if things were on the right track with my kids. Great read for a new parent.
What To Expect: The Toddler Years is written by the same authors who created What To Expect When You're Expecting and What To Expect: The First Year. The Toddler Years follows its predecessors by breaking down the second and third year of your child's life into monthly categories with an extensive question and answer section. This books contains every single question and scenario that a parent can think of.
I liked this book because of the real, practical ideas it offers for caring for problems with toddlers. It's also easy to skim through and find the information you need for your toddler without having to read the whole thing.
I really like the month by month break down as your toddler progresses. You can read how many words the average baby speaks, follow along on the milestones, and just confirm adoringly that your toddler is indeed smiling or reciprocating or whatever they’re huge achievement is that month. But yes, I read it cover to cover like an OCD freak
