On Becoming PreToddlerwise continue picks up where Babywise II left off. During the next 180 days (12-18 months of age) the newly emerging walking, talking, explor¬ing child begins a developmental metamorphosis from baby¬hood to toddlerhood. This means the challenges successfully accomplished a few months ago give way to new abilities and challenges as your pretoddler's mind and world expands expo¬nentially. As mealtime and waketime activities become more complex, parenting strategies will have to adjust to properly accommodate your child's expanding world of discovery. On Becoming Pretoddlerwise was written to prepare parents for the hectic, fast moving, exciting and fatiguing toddler years.
