Format:Paperback
I really like Vicki's sense of humor. She lets you know for sure that you are not the only one that has problems with your toddlers. She offers a variety of sensible strategies to choose from. She is not afraid to share in her book some of her embarrassing, angry moments with her own kids; and I find that very comforting. Her book is fun to read with its friendly "girltalk" style that most mums with toddlers can relate to. It feels good to know that other kids say and do things that challenge a mum's sanity and that all of us regret what we say and do from time to time. I also recommend "The Pocket Parent" which has a similar compassionate neighborly tone, as well as personal short anecdotes from the authors... however it has far more "meat" as far as specific bullets of helpful tips arranged in 40 easy reference topics (such as bad words, bedtime, biting, hitting and hurting others, interrupting, mealtime, morning crazies, the gimmes, separation anxiety, and whining). Both books give lots of support, a good dose of humor and sensible advice without being preachy nor condescending.

This book should come with a warning: "Do not read in public!" unless you are prepared to embarrass yourself. The anecdotes are too real and will cause the laughter to bubble from you. If your self-diagnosis has led you to look for a book that would help and you believe that laughter is the best medicine, then I would definitely recommend it.
With a 4 year old and a 2 year old , I have found that it is easy to read, full of anecdotes and useful advice that is sure to put you in the frame of mind to deal with them.

I really recommend this book to anyone who finds themselves at the end of their tether with a challenging toddler (is there any other sort?!). I don't think there are any startling revelations in terms of childcare strategies, but this is partly what makes her approach so refreshing as she makes you realise you're far from alone and are naturally doing a lot of things right already. She also makes you chortle - a lot, and reminds you of all the things you love about your toddler and their quirks. I also heartily recommend her previous 2 books dealing with pregnancy and the first year of motherhood.

Brilliant
As always, she just hits the nail on the head. Smart, sane and funny advice for bewildered parents.

Love this woman
I bought this as I loved Best Friends Guide to Pregnancy. The book does not give advice on how to deal with situations - it tells stories of other peoples experiences & hers. Read more

very funny, tongue in cheek but, oh so true
Once again the author has hit the nail on the head of being a parent in the real world not the child psychologists world. Read more
