What does it take to rear a firstborn child? Renowned psychologist Kevin Leman educates moms and dads on the essentials of parenting and expounds on the traits that characterize firstborn children so new parents know what to expect. He explains how birth order can influence each stage of development-from infancy on into young adulthood. This book will help first-time parents-especially mothers-adjust to their new situation and role while raising a happy, healthy child.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 239).
