reviewed Megaskills: Building Our Children's Character and Achievement fo School and Life on June 10, 2010
Megaskills
Decent parenting book for the 12-24 month old period that covers pretty much all the bases, although none in extensive detail. I think the primary use for this kind of book is to reassure yourself that your kid is 'normal' (more or less, and whatever "normal" means) and that you're doing all right with him or her.
