Product Description
Synopsis
A companion title to "The Social Baby", "The Social Toddler" offers the reader an in-depth look at the world of pre-school children through clear text and video-stills. Much maligned and frequently misunderstood, the toddler years are dreaded by many parents. Toddlers can be seen as wilful, destructive and unco-operative - often a terrible disappointment after what has been delightful babyhood. Parents ask themselves what has gone wrong, and the resulting tension can establish patterns of behaviour in the family that remain until adult life. How does the toddler view this stage? "The Social Toddler" explains why behaviour patterns emerge and offers simple, effective strategies to diffuse situations that are regularly encountered. The book further explains how immature minds view the ever expanding world in which they find themselves and shows the reader just how frustrating it is to be at this stage of life. Many of us simply cannot imagine what it must be like to ask but have no language, to reason but with no boundaries, or to explore with no concept of fear. Toddlers are not wilful, they are endlessly inquisitive.They are not demons, they are only just discovering social interaction and contract with strangers. As "The Social Baby" makes clear, each child is a unique individual living in a unique set of circumstances, and there is not one rule that can be applied to all. By understanding events from the child's perspective, the parent/carer is better able to respond to situations and avoid conflict. The book covers: role reversal: experience the toddler's world; use of language by parents/adults; development of social skills; importance of learning through play and discovery; peer relationships; separation and reunion; shifting attachment from parent/carer to another; patterns of behaviour - promoting positive/ignoring negative behaviour, techniques for distractions; feeding; and the need for independence and self esteem.

This review is from: The Social Toddler: Promoting Positive Behaviour (Paperback)
Helen and Clive Dorman explain why your toddler acts the way they do. They promote understanding rather than prescriptive behaviour. If you want to learn how to enjoy your child, then read this book.

Needs more words and less pictures,
By
This review is from: The Social Toddler: Promoting Positive Behaviour (Paperback)
This book is full of video stills with a relatively small amount of commentary on the pictures that do little to help parents understand where their child might be in the various stages of child development. It really needs much more backgound and useful information rather than simple observation.

Finally understand your toddler!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Social Toddler: Promoting Positive Behaviour (Paperback)
This book is one of the best I've seen for really helping parents and teachers get inside the puzzling little minds of toddlers. Based on real-life situations that most parents have run into, the book offers practical suggestions for dealing with potential conflicts before they escalate. The authors have years of experience with young children. After you've read this book and implemented its suggestions, the "terrible twos" won't seem so terrible after all.
