Dr. Heather specializes in the development of babies, toddlers, preschoolers - and parents. Come hear her practical, real-world advice about parenting young children. Get your toughest questions ready:
-- Is my child ready?
-- What if he has a meltdown?
-- How can I prevent separation anxiety?
-- How will she adjust to the new schedule?
"It's back to school at my house, too," Dr. Heather noted. "I'll tell you why my 5-year-old already 'hates' recess, how my 21-month-old has started awakening at night again - and what we're doing to help ease their transition to this new, busy time of year. I'll share my own hard-won parenting tips - which I've 'road tested' in my own home - and fact-checked with the newest, best child-development research. I can't wait to 'talk' with all of you online with our new video format!"
Just for joining the conversation, eight chat participants will have a chance to win a $100 Target® gift card (restrictions apply). At the end of the chat, Dr. Heather will reveal a code word.
