When I first heard about this book, which was released September 7, 2010 (by Sterling Publishing), I thought it would help me and provide tips on parenting and educating my toddler Brandon. It was quite a thick book packed with tips and all the information that I need to know. The topics that most interests me is about behaviour throughout the book. Brandon is great with many things (such as eating, communicating, learning to share, etc), except that he whines a lot if he doesn't get what he wants. As a first time mom, I'm always asking for tips and advice.
Dr. Jenn Berman had a book signing in LA between September 13 and 16. I wish I was there for her autograph and to actually meet her in person.
