Raising a Happy, Unspoiled Child (Original)

REQUIRED READING FOR PARENTS WHO WANT TO GIVE THEIR CHILD THE BEST START IN LIFE
Must your charming five-month-old turn into a tiny terror? Are the "terrible twos" and public tantrums inevitable? Burton White, author of the classic "The First Three Years of Life," doesn't think so. Basing his recommendations on thirty-seven years of research and observation, White shows how to bring up an independent, socially secure, and "delightful" child.
In his groundbreaking and easy-to-follow book, White takes parents through the normal development stages of their child's first thirty-six months, recommending the best ways to:

React to a child's intentional cry
Cope with stranger anxiety, separation anxiety, and sibling rivalry
Manage unacceptable behavior without causing emotional harm to a child or damaging the parent/child relationship
Handle challenging sleep situations, calm a cranky newborn, and deal with the toddler's fine art of the whine

All parents who want a peaceful, loving relationship with their child instead of a constant emotional tug-of-war will find that "Raising a Happy, Unspoiled Child" is the one book that "must" have a place on their shelf.
