Many parents wonder how their sweet baby which gurgled happily at them for the first 12 months changes so suddenly into a bellowing, tantrum prone, carpet biting toddler. What went wrong? Whose fault is it? What can be done about it? With humour and common sense, Dr Green answers these questions and many others like them. He qualms fears of "abnormal" bad behaviour, points out the strains of bringing children up and offers practical advice on all fronts from discipline to sleeping problems, tantrums to toilet training.

I appreaciate the upbeat tone of this book. I admit that I get confused and overwhelmed sometimes with all the psycho-babble out there. After all, no one author has all the answers that work on every child all of the time. I found comfort in this easy read book knowing for sure that I am not the only parent that faces daily challeges from the kids that can simply drive me crazy. "Toddler Taming has helped me feel less guilty and more competent raising my 3 young children, all under the age of 6. I have learned that there are indeed alternatives to the automatic parenting reactions of yelling, nagging, bribing, threatening and criticizing (that really aren't working anyway)...but they often require a deep breath, thought and a good bit of practice.

It gives practical advice and even answers your 'that won't work because....' fears. It rescued us from a particularly difficult time with our second child and resumed a reasonable level of harmony to our household.
Well worth the money.

This book is an easy-to-read, uplifting guide that builds a parent's confidence while relieving numerous anxieties. The author addresses many of the major challenges parents face in the first 5 years raising their toddlers. His humor is much appreciated along with the common sense, very practical advice. It is very reassuring to know that you are not the only mum with concerns and occasional regrets. The author is very knowlegeable and understanding. He seems to be "on your side" with suggestions rather than "on your back" with criticism and demands of what is the only correct thing to do. This book has been a wonderful source of support that has helped our family calm down and get along better. For more specific practical suggestions written exclusively for parenting a 2, 3, 4, and 5 year-old, I also wish to highly recommend "The Pocket Parent." This A-Z quick read reference has similar upbeat, practical advice addressing many more annoying behavior issues like bad words, bedtime and mealtime refusals, hitting and hurting others (including the new baby), "moring crazies", interrupting, whining and "parent deafness." Both of these books are filled with practical advice, humor and compassion that helped me to make better choices disciplining and communicating more effectively with my young children.
