Steps & Stages blends expert advice and parental experience to tackle the typical – but by no means simple – challenges and milestones you and your child are bound to face at each stage of his or her development. Chock full of anecdotes, tips, and resources, the Steps & Stages series addresses the everyday, practical issues of raising kids that all parents wonder about, but parenting guides rarely discuss. The four books in this series The Toddler Years (from 1 to 3), The Preschool Years (from 3 to 5), The School Years (from 6 to 8), and The Preteen Years (from 9 to 12). From his first step towards autonomy to her first restaurant, from her first sentence to his first play date, The Toddler Years focuses on daily life with the walking, talking, emerging little individual your baby has become. The Toddler Years includes sections on toddler dependence and independence, toddler traits, sociability, and habits and routines. Around the time our child turns three, and almost before you realize it has happened, the tumult and unpredictability of your t oddler gives way to the somewhat more settled, civilized preschooler. The Preschool Years looks at the particular challenges and joys of life with a three- to five-year-old who seems to be growing in all directions at once and who still needs you as much as ever. Included are sections on New Skills and Experiences, Learning to Behave, and Learning Through Play.
