''What to Expect: The Toddler Years'' is nothing short of a parenting bible for anyone navigating the wild, wonderful, and often bewildering world of toddlers. Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel have updated this classic guide with the same empathy, intelligence, and thoroughness that made the series a household name. Organised month-by-month, it expertly demystifies toddler development, letting parents know what's typical, what to anticipate next, and how to handle common challenges like picky eating, sleep regressions, and the infamous tantrum. The advice is practical, non-judgmental, and backed by paediatric expertise. What sets it apart is its holistic approach—it doesn't just address the child's needs but also offers invaluable support for parents on balancing it all and maintaining their own sanity. The revised edition ensures the information is current with today's parenting landscape. Whether you're a first-time parent feeling overwhelmed or a seasoned one needing a refresher, this book is an reassuring, authoritative companion. It’s a must-have reference that parents will find themselves reaching for again and again throughout the toddler journey.
