Books like What to expect, the toddler years by Arlene Eisenberg

John Medina’s Brain Rules translates cutting‑edge neuroscience into practical guidance, showing how exercise, sleep, stress, and multi‑tasking affect memory, learning, and everyday performance.

There is no greater fulfillment a parent can receive than the upturned face of a toddler, eyes speaking wonders and a face in confidence in discovering a brand new world with Mom and Dad. In just over a year, the helpless infant emerges as a little moving, talking , walking, exploratory person marked by keen senses, clear memory, quick perceptions and unlimited energy. He emerges into a period of life known affectionately as the Toddler Years. How ready are you for this new experience?
