Gary Ezzo, a graduate of Talbot Seminary and School of Theology, teams up with pediatrician Dr. Robert Bucknam to explore the role of moral development in a child in this compact sequel to their controversial primer on newborn behavior, <I>On Becoming Baby Wise</I>. Four glowing, compelling commentaries highlight the very first pages of the book, which attempts to guide parents through a critical time in their child's growth and learning (ages 5 through 15 months). The authors make many rational arguments about a parent's duty to expect and encourage consistent, acceptable behaviors when the child is very young; over time, such training will lead to the development of moral concepts. While the outcome is desirable and the method--when used consistently--does work, this particular book lacks the many supportive examples and research references found in the first <I>Baby Wise</I>. The authors encourage readers to familiarize themselves with the original, and openly state that their methods are more effective for graduates of Baby Wise parenting--not demand-fed babies. So, this particular child-rearing book is not meant for all. Chapters feature topics including moral foundations, mealtime and wake-time activities, highchair manners, discipline, and teaching basic sign language. Most of the information is more philosophical than practical. Don't expect to learn "how," so much as "why." <I>--Liane Thomas</I> 286087 1994 On Becoming Baby Wise II: Parenting Your Pre-Toddler Five to Fifteen Months total:350|5:83|4:104|3:99|2:38|1:26| 350 1230 429 79 0 0 true false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Dec 13 17:49:58 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 12:14:22 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 18:54:40 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 18:58:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Wed Apr 23 15:00:41 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 24 22:51:21 -0700 2008

The authors tell parents to teach once, not reteach later. While this is a useful concept, and one I'd like to employ, they give almost no real life examples.
Their notion of parent directed feeding schedule is out-dated.
