Hitting, biting and grabbing toys in a 3-year-old start off Charlotte Snyder's January 2026 live Q&A. It is for parents of toddlers and preschoolers, with a chapter on teaching children how to ask for something and how to say no. Later questions include a 13-month-old who won't eat, good activities at that age, and whether daycare at 13 months is okay. It ends with being on the same team as your child after a hard moment.
