We look at our child and think: “How to love him? How to understand? What to teach and how to develop? What if he resists us, doesn’t listen, gets angry?” The first year of life gives way to the second, and a new stage in the relationship with the baby begins. We have to learn to take his opinion into account. This book is a practical guide for parents, a continuation of the book “Child Development. The first year of life." It talks about how to carefully and wisely develop the abilities inherent in a child, how to help him grow up as a happy, successful and creative person. It was written by the author of early development methods and articles on raising children, the head of the Center for Cultural Education, a Montessori teacher with twenty years of experience, a linguist, a candidate of philological sciences, and a mother of four children. In this book, parents will find answers to many of their questions.
