What to Expect the Second Year: From 12 to 24 Months ) Description
Heidi Murkoff’s What to Expect has delivered again. Announcing the arrival of a brand-new member of the What to Expect family:
What to Expect the Second Year. The essential sequel to
What to Expect the First Year, with 9.7 million copies in print,
What to Expect the Second Year picks up the action at baby’s first birthday, and takes parents through what can only be called “the wonder year”—12 jam-packed (and jam-smeared) months of memorable milestones (from first steps to first words, first scribbles to first friends), lightning-speed learning, endless explorations driven by insatiable curiosity. Not to mention a year of challenges, both for toddlers and the parents who love them, but don’t always love their behaviors (picky eating, negativity, separation anxiety, bedtime battles, biting, and tantrums).
Comprehensive, reassuring, empathetic, realistic, and practical,
What to Expect the Second Year is filled with solutions, strategies, and plenty of parental pep talks. It helps parents decode the fascinating, complicated, sometimes maddening, always adorable little person last year’s baby has become.
From the first birthday to the second, this must-have book covers everything parents need to know in an easy-to-access, topic-by-topic format, with chapters on growth, feeding, sleeping, behaviors of every conceivable kind, discipline (including teaching right from wrong), and keeping a toddler healthy and safe as he or she takes on the world. There’s a developmental time line of the second year plus special “milestone” boxes throughout that help parents keep track of their toddler’s development. Thinking of traveling with tot in tow? There’s a chapter for that, too.

This book is very informative, however that chapters are not designated by age (month). In this book they are by categories. The information is great, but I miss reading about each month's development, etc.

When I became a mom for the first time I can remember being glued to
What to Expect the First Year (What to Expect (Workman Publishing)). In fact I have had the same copy of this book for more than seven years now and find myself peeking at it every now and then too look for advise as my children went on in life. Now I am thrilled at the release of
What to Expect the Second Year: From 12 to 24 Months (What to Expect (Workman Publishing)). Maybe this is because of my Elliot just turning one a few days ago and maybe it is because finally my needs for information as they age have been meet by author Heidi Murkoff.
One of my biggest issues that began when my son made the transition from bottle to solids was his eating habits. For the first week it was all eggs, cheerios and applesauce it seemed. It was then and even now very picky and left much on his plate ever meal. In a chapter I learned how to add a sippy cup and some self feeding tips that have helped us get over the dietary issues and on to a well feed little man again.
I have learned how to handle early temper tantrums with grace and compassion and found tips on safety proofing that even this momma of many would have overlooked. Most importantly I have found ways to encourage positive behaviors and ways to mold a growing mind.
I have not read this book completely as of today but use it regularly with my many questions (thank goodness for the index). I am sure given another month I will have touched on every subject What to Expect the Second Year contains. I welcome it with open arms and even carry this with me wherever we go.
