Toddlers and Preschoolers Book

"Practical" is the best word to describe Dr. Lawrence Kutner's insights and advice on raising children. For years, Dr. Kutner's newspaper and magazine columns have been posted on refrigerator doors and handed out at pediatricians' offices—columns clipped from his nationally syndicated New York Times "Parent & Child" column, which he wrote from 1987 to 1994, and his column on child behavior in Parents magazine, one of the magazine's most popular features. In this, the second book in the "Parent & Child" series, Dr. Kutner blends expertise, personal experience, and humor as he takes a look at what it's like to raise toddlers and preschoolers in today's families. He uses his skills as both a highly respected psychologist and journalist to help parents get inside their children's minds and see the world as they do. This book is filled with powerful and effective techniques for solving some of the most frustrating problems faced by parents....The result is a useful, funny and insightful look at why young children behave the way they do.

Dr. Kutner offers a wealth of expert and warmly humorous guidance to help parents through the turbulent toddler and preschool years. Drawing on his experience as a clinical psychologist and parent, Dr. Kutner reveals how the rapidly changing perceptions of toddlers and preschoolers influence their behavior.
