* How do I help baby sleep well? (Start with the 45-minute rule.)
* How can I instill a love of learning in my child? (With specific types of praise and criticism.)
* What boosts my child’s success in school? (It's not what you think.)
* My kindergartner loves videos and cell-phone games. That’s cool, right? (If you play, too.)
* What tamps down temper tantrums? (Naming emotions out loud.)
* My sweet baby just hit a playmate / lied to me about un-potting the plant / talked back. Now what? (OK, this is a whole section of the book.)
* How do I get through an entire day of this? (With help. Lots of help.)
