 Really old book, just new cover!, 2008-06-02
I was SO disappointed in this book (I would have given negative stars if I could, it is so bad). While the information was barely decent, they just slapped a new cover on it to make it look like a newer edition (which I found very deceiving, so shame on me for not checking the dates!). It was hard to read (some of the language was extremely awkward and at times doesn't even have the same meanings as today).
It was also not good at covering the whole year from 1 to 2. The authors generalized way to much and lumped everything into what an 18-month old would do! I bought this book to see how my child would develop through the ENTIRE year, not see what he should be doing at only 18 months!
The book is not well organized, clumsy, out-of-date for lots of important information, and even the typed font was old-fashioned & hard to read. I don't even know where the subtitle came from (fun-loving & fussy) as that wasn't covered either.
THIS BOOK IS VERY OUT OF DATE to say the least! Save your money & don't buy this series. I recommend the "Positive Disipline" series or even the "What to Expect" series instead. They both do a MUCH better job covering a child's development, and are easy & even fun to read!

 A MUST READ for all parents ..., 2008-06-01
I recommend these books (Your ONE Year Old, Your TWO Year Old, Your THREE Year Old, Your FOUR Year Old, Your FIVE Year Old, Your SIX Year Old, Your SEVEN Year Old, Your EIGHT Year Old, Your NINE Year Old, Your TEN-to-FOURTEEN Year Old. These books were writtten by Louise Bates Ames, PhD, Fances L. Ilg, MD and Sidney M. Baker MD of the Gesell Institute of Human Development. They are NOT a "how to" book for parents -- but rather provide a perspective of life from the child's various ages. I found the books to be of such value that I purchase the entire series for new parents. Somehow I forgot to purchase these books for my niece when she started her family. She expressed some concerns about her seven year old son's behavior (that I knew from experience to be that typical of seven year olds). I purchased the books from the series that will help my niece from here on. She LOVES them! I have a feeling she will use them and pass them along to other parents. My original set are part of my permanent library. I highly recommend these books for your permanent library as well!

great book- a must have for all new parents!, 2007-01-12
we have this book, along with 'your 2 year old' and 'your 3 year old', and love it! we have also bought this as a gift for other parents-- great book! great advice! great gift! a must-read for all parents! it really helps you understand where your child is, where they should be, and where they are headed at this special and challenging time in his/her life.

 Some good information but very out of date, 2006-10-19
This book definitely needs updating. Though it has some good information, it's mostly intuitive and I found quite a bit of bad advice. The "Stories from Real Life" are clearly out of date as one references "sleeping medicine" for a baby prescribed from a doctor and many more reference spanking and slapping an 18 month old's hands. This book was not for me!

Should be updated, 2006-08-24
Readable, mostly sensible, but with some attitudes that make me cringe.
A parent writes that she's afraid her son will become a homosexual because he seeks comfort from dad all the time. Does anybody really think that anymore? And the answer, which is that the son will "probably" turn out "normal" is both dated and biased. Then there's the cigarette thing. And a mother whose friends think a baby gate is horrid. Just old, old stuff.
But the four stars are for the sensible and compassionate approach to understanding that your baby is an individual, is experimenting with how to act, and needs your help and loving care. There's a lot of good material in here; be judicious and you'll find it's worth reading.
