Once your baby reaches his or her first birthday that’s it: he or she’s a toddler. Caring for a toddler is one of the greatest parenting challenges of all. One minute they’re willfully assertive, the next clingy and whining… It takes patience and perseverance to help your little one make the transition from a dependent baby to an independent child. At Practicing Parents, we aim to be with you all the way.
