After 11 years, it’s time to transition from account management. I am over being everyone’s punching bag. What client side roles for an AD would be transferable? This just isn’t a sustainable career choice or mental health choice for a mom imo.

What is a useful, comprehensive but not too long of a book for parenting toddlers?

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!
