Well Rounded Parenting Book

If you're looking for a well-rounded parenting book, this is a great audiobook to listen to because it is geared toward children of all ages. Not only does this book talk about how to parent your child, but gives advice across many different essential needs such as nutrition, sleep requirements, and more. What I appreciated about this book is that the author also pointed out how to look for developmental delays in your toddler. My son was diagnosed with autism around two years old, and as a first-time parent, you might not know what to look for, and the sooner you can get support for your child's delays, the better.

Simple and accessible

This is a very simple guide for taking care of your children in a healthy way during the different stages of their development. The book doesn't go deep in particular subjects, but rather makes a valuable overview of what to expect at each stage and how to deal with the most common and important themes. If you are not an avid reader that is planning on reading 20 different books on parenting, but would rather have a useful general tool at your disposal, this book is definitely for you. Very good male narrator voice that's easy to listen to. I recommend!

It is highly recommended.
