Product Description
Product Description
Coping with the terrible twos is hard work. Even the easiest of babies can present a range of challenges when they get to that age and start developing a mind of their own. Written by a parent who is also a qualified early years professional, this book combines personal experience with professional expertise to provide you with all of the information and guidance you need to survive this trying time. Many parenting books these days are written by non-parents who advocate a 'one-size-fits-all' approach, and often with little professional education to underpin their practice. The book will help you to understand the terrible twos and why they happen, your child's emotions, behaviour and needs during this time, the importance of balancing freedom and limits and other strategies to help your child learn and grow. After all, that is what the terrible twos is all about. Case studies will help parents to realise they are not alone in experiencing problems with a 'terrible' two-year-old. The book will provide support and information on how to find the strategy that works for your child and for you. It is part of the Need2Know range.

'The Terrible Twos' - most parents will agree this can be a difficult time in a child's life, as the child grows, explores and tests the limits. But it needn't be terrible, if handled constructively, as this practical guide shows. Shanta is an experienced Early Years Practitioner and her experience shines through in this book. We are given an insight into children's emotions and needs, and this helps us understand the behaviour that may arise as a consequence. The importance of setting boundaries, whilst leaving room to develop and explore is discussed. Play, eating, sleep and potty training are all areas of possible contention and strategies are given, along with real life experiences. A practical and reassuring guide which will be invaluable to parents and to all those who come into contact with 2 year olds.
Format:Paperback
With so much choice of the terrible two help-guide, I picked this one as it looked modern compared to some of the books on offer. I know from friends just having their first babies that the advice I was given by midwives is different 2 years on, so I wanted a book that was up to date too.
I found this book easy to read, useful and informative. It's a handy guide and one I've referred to a few times since purchasing it. As a first time mum I've found the advice and tips so helpful, as well as the case studies, which make me think, phew we're normal! My daughter isn't naughty by any means, but is prone to tantrums due to frustration and she's a fussy eater to say the least! This book certainly helps when you are uncertain what to do next and it's quite reasonably priced too. I also like the fact the author is a parent and has experienced the terrible twos herself. Definitely worth investing in.
