Have you ever wondered why children do not come with an owner’s manual? I have often wondered why you need a license to perform surgery, drive a car and even fish but need absolutely no guidance or training to have and raise a baby. Many of us are clueless as first time parents. When my husband and I had our twins I felt completely overwhelmed and terrified even though I was a pediatrician. This book has been written to guide parents stepwise through some of the most common hurdles and questions in child rearing. It is broken down by age and provides support to parents on a month to month basis. It addresses many of the common questions I get from parents in my daily practice. It also encourages parents to step back, take a deep breath and realize that we ALL feel inadequate as parents and should help support one another. We are all in this together! This is a must read for any parent whether you have one or 10 children!
