I am very interested in finding some resources about age appropriate behavior and development, as it has become a great way to help my DH understand what is reasonable and what is unreasonable to expect from our 18-month-old. He is very open to the discussions we have about what we can expect and how to handle issues, and it is making a huge difference in him parenting more GD than he was raised :thumb , so I just want to be able to keep it up as our child(ren) grow(s). I have found a few websites, but was wondering if anyone else had any good links or favorite books that I could have on hand. Basically, I'm looking for resources for things like:
Development of impulse control
Development of empathy
Development of socialization skills
Development of verbal instruction comprehension and follow through (though at 31 I still sometimes lack this! :wink )
Hitting, tantruming, etc. and what they mean, and why they're important developmentally
Helping express emotions without squashing them, but giving appropriate direction for outlets...
...and things along those lines. Thanks much for any help anyone can give!
