Books for Parents of Children from 18 months to 3 years
NOTE: There are some books that seem to fit into more than one category on the right and may be listed more than once. Also, because children do not all move from one stage to another at the same age, look at the books for Stage Two and Stage Four as well as these for toddlers.
 
How to Behave So Your Preschooler Will, Too! Sal Severe, Ph.D.
ISBN 0142004588
Sal Severe's books encourage parents to look to their own actions toward and reaction to their childrens' behavior, and suggests ways we may inadvertantly encouage "acting-out". Once we have a level of self-awarness, we can then interact with our children more successfully. While a little heavy on rewards-based parenting, this book has some very good ideas on how to parent consistently and positively. Severe is also the author of How to Behave So Your Kids Will, Too!
