From the Author:
This is truly an amazing and exciting phase of a baby's life, in part because babies achieve a level of alertness in which they begin to intentionally interact with people, places, and things that make up their developing world. This is also a time of great cognitive expansion when Baby purposefully begins to make, literally, "baby decisions" from which learning patterns begin to take shape. Correspondingly, it is a time when Moms and Dad's actions and reactions profoundly impact those "baby decisions." This is why parenting in the second half of the first year moves out of the category of wonderfully-simple to challenging and complex.In On Becoming Babywise 2, we connect all the dots between the passive world of infancy and the multiplicity of growth factors emerging during the second six months of life. The more parents understand the multifaceted babyhood transitions, the more confident they become in managing their baby's unfolding world.Stage One: Birth to 5 months-- On Becoming BabywiseStage Two: 5 to 12 months -- On Becoming Babywise 11Stage Three: 12 - 18 months -- On Becoming PretoddlerwiseStage Four: 18 - 36 months -- On Becoming ToddlerwiseStage Five: 36 - 84 months -- On Becoming ChildwiseAs a pediatrician for the last 26 years, the healthy growth of children is the central concern of my practice.

From the Inside Flap:
As a pediatrician, the healthy growth of children is the central concern of my practice. By definition, "healthy" means more than positive ear, nose, and throat examinations-- it also implies emotional, physical, moral, and cognitive fitness. It includes giving a baby the best environment to grow, flourish and reach his or her full potential at each stage of development.-- Dr. Robert Bucknam, M.D., Founder & Director of Cornerstone Pediatrics -Louisville, CO (author of On Becoming Babywise 2 and the On Becoming best selling series)
