(  ) booklovers2 | Sep 2, 2009 |  This book saved my life when my daughter was born. I am the oldest of a very large family, but the term "wakeful child" was not one heard in my growing up years. It's smart, direct, and very, very useful. ( ) Prop2gether | Jul 1, 2008 | This is my favorite all-around, basic developmentally driven parenting book, hands down. I loathe the What to Expect... books for their hysteria about anything unconventional, I am annoyed by books by male doctors telling women how to be mothers and I don't like books that argue one narrow type of parenting is the only thing that will save your child from growing up psychotic. Leach is a wonderful voice of balance and wisdom. She takes a child-centered approach without asking parents to be martyrs and her tone assumes her reader is not an idiot. I enjoy her writing style, too, which is a nice bonus. ( )1  lilysea | Jun 16, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Each developmental stage--newborn, settled baby, older baby, toddler, and young child--is discussed in terms of feeding, teeth and teething, growing, excreting, crying, sleeping, playing, and everyday care. For each stage, an additional set of appropriate topics is discussed, including muscle power, speech, child care, and appropriate toys. Colorful and expressive photos display infant, childhood, and toddler behavior. With her common-sense, child-positive approach, Leach carefully dispels negative parenting attitudes, and teaches readers how to stop, listen, and learn from their children. --Ericka Lutz
