Books like On Becoming Toddlerwise: From First Steps to Potty Training

This was an incredibly fast read, I read it in two sittings. Maybe because I skipped most of the chapter on potty training, since I'm not ready to tackle that with the kiddo yet. General takeaway I got from this:- a schedule / routine is helpful- be intentional with your time with your child (guide them and try to teach them, don't just let them wander around)- focus more on redirection and restriction than punishment at this stage- use your word choice carefully; don't bog the kid down with long explanations, keep it simple and direct and find ways to encourage positive behavior rather than always discouraging negative behaviorOne thing I did not like about this book is that it assumed a stay-at-home mother in all cases. So all the examples were like "when the dad gets home, he can spend one-on-one time with one kid while the mom bathes the others and puts them to bed" and stuff like that. A sample day schedule was entirely focused on a stay-at-home mother so for a two-job couple like us, I found it hard to translate some of the suggestions to our varied schedule and caregivers.
