Book interesting

While the book made for interesting reading (I have a 15 month son), I did not like how inflexible it came across. For example, it would say at 8 months, your baby should be doing this...If my child weren't doing whatever it was at that exact time, and I didn't know better, the book would have scared the crap out of me, making me think something was horribly wrong with my child. Now I have not read the entire book, as I am reading it as my child grows up.

A "must have" for every parent

"Your Child" truly is an essential for every home. Although written by members of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, it's parent friendly to read! Age groups are broken down in each chapter, which I found helpful to find and very easy to use for my family. The information I obtained and utilized was priceless. I highly recommend this book.
