What merits calling the doctor and what are symptoms of problems readily solved by a loving parent with a little right knowledge ... see the chapter on "illness"! Want to avoid making battles out of mealtime or sleeptime...see the awesome section on "Sleeping Habits" and the extensive tips on Feeding Time from "nursing" to "fussy eaters" and "feeding toddlers" to "clean up"!

The authors understand that parents are too busy raising their family to read entire books on "how to parent!" Mother Knows Best dishes out wisdom in short BITE-SIZED capsules, most of which are no longer than a short paragraph!
