YOUR CHILD FROM 1 TO 6

Abstract

YOUR BABY has already lived a whole year when this book starts. You may think that you’ve done all the work that first year, but your baby has been working, too. He's made a start on all of the learnings that will absorb him for the rest of his preschool years. He has felt to some degree all of the emotions which he will feel during the rest of his life. He has learned a great deal about people from you, his parents, who for the present matter most to him. He’s been teaching you to manage him. His arrival has pushed you into a new understanding of yourself, and has changed your feelings for each other. You gained in confidence, and your baby added to your confidence by becoming much more predictable as well as thriving on your care. Jt has been a full year, indeed.
