An A-to-Z compendium of vital information and comfort for every mother and father—from new parents bringing home their first infant to parents of adolescents soon to strike out on their own. As “invaluable as Spock…. An essential reference book for every parent” (New York Daily News). • From the universally admired author of the bestselling classic Your Baby and Child.

Whether Penelope Leach is telling you what to do when your child suddenly develops a high fever or earache or rash, or suggesting how you might determine the reason behind your eight-year-old’s unwillingness to go to school, or helping you deal with your adolescent’s developing sexuality, Penelope Leach’s full and specific advice always reflects not only the practice of leading medical authorities but her own immense expertise and experience as a child psychologist, her extraordinary sensitivity to the feelings of both child and parent, and her grasp of the realities—financial, professional, and social—of life today.

“Leach merges the best practical advice with an extraordinary sensitivity to her young subjects . . . A book that should soon prove as invaluable as Spock . . . An essential reference book for every parent.”
—New York Daily News

“Leach is practical and understanding: she provides workable solutions to the thorniest problems . . . Whether discussing physical or emotional concerns, Leach goes right to the point—reassuring parents that whatever the problem, something concrete can be done . . . An invaluable family reference.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“A wealth of information . . . [Leach’s] writing is relaxed and matter-of-fact, the advice based on common sense.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
