Toddler 411: Clear Answers and Smart Advice for Your Toddler 
asked by flow on November 21, 2006 5:45 PM
The sleepless nights, 2 a.m. feedings, and endless diaper changes have finally ended. Now the real fun begins! From temper tantrums to toilet training, raising a toddler, a child between 1- and 4-years-old, brings its own set of challenges and questions — and Toddler 411 has the answers. Like its predecessor, the popular Baby 411, the book provides practical advice in a handy question-and-answer format that allows frantic parents to find information fast. Pediatrician Ari Brown and coauthor Denise Fields, both mothers, tackle toddlerhood with a reassuring, “been there, done that” attitude that puts parents’ minds at ease. Parents learn how to cope with a picky eater; raise a well-behaved child; potty train in just one day; what to look for in a preschool; what’s normal, what’s not, and what to do about it. Covering all aspects of a young child’s development, both physical and emotional, Toddler 411 offers the up-to-date, evidence-based guidance that today’s parents demand and deserve.

My wife and I were recently blessed with the placement of three beautiful children (ages 2, 3 & 6) through Children's Protective Services. Having never been parents before, we were initially overwhelmed with the responsibility and chaos. We spent several tearful evenings wondering if we were cut out for the challenges of child-rearing.
After a particularly bad temper tantrum by the 2 year old, I left the house in desperation. I spent the afternoon at the nearest bookstore and browsed a stack of over 20 books in search of the elusive "perfect resource". My search concluded when I picked up a copy of "Toddler 411". This book stood head and shoulders above any other book I had browsed... it was the crème on top of the coffee! It was the perfect parenting resource.
Since purchasing "Toddler 411" we have referred to the book on a near daily basis. From constipation to ear-aches, this book has provided an answer for EVERY question we have thrown at it. I highly recommend this book to all parents. In particular, I strongly recommend this book to new adoptive parents of toddlers. For them, this book should be required reading. It is the "Instruction Manual" our case worker forgot to give us.

This is a great book! It is easy to reference and easy to read. I use it all the time with questions I have about my kids sleep, diet, discipline, illness.... If you have a toddler, buy this book!

I read Baby 411 and when I found out there was a Toddler 411, I had to go out and get it. These authors know there stuff and there advice is so straight forward and helpful. I have been looking for a book on what to do with my son who is amazingly active, stubborn, and in need of direction. Most books out there were of little or no help regarding discipline and this book is just the opposite. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has a toddler....and when I say toddler, I mean 12 months, NOT TWO YEARS OLD!!! Go out and buy a copy of this for your library. It will be so worth it. I am keeping Baby 411 for my next who is due any day and will also be keeping Toddler 411. It's great!
