Product Description
Many parents wonder how the sweet, chubby baby which gurgles happily at them for the first twelve months changes so suddenly into a bellowing, tantrum prone, heel drumming, carpet biting toddler. What's gone wrong? Whose fault is it? What can they do about it? Consultant paedriatrician Dr Christopher Green's classic work on coping with infants has now been extensively revised and expanded in this new edition to answer these questions and others like them in a way that parents of the 1990s will instantly grasp. He quickly clams fears of 'abnormal' bad behaviour, points out the inevitable strains of bringing up children, and offers invaluable practical advice on all fronts from discipline to sleeping problems, tantrums to toilet training. Light-hearted yet authoritative, Toddler Taming is a must for family sanity.

written with a good sense of humour, not only do you have a good laugh reading this book, but soon realise that you're not the only parent who has a pint-sized terrorist for a toddler.
The book gives you back your "feel good factor" as a parent, confirming that your child's behaviour at that particular age is NORMAL.
excellent, an absolute breath of fresh air, do not hesitate to buy this book!!

This book is a real essential for new parents - I was always convinced my little boy was hyperactive or I was doing something wrong because he was always so into everything but now I know that's perfectly normal. Dr Green has a great way with words and seems to have his own off days which is reassuring! He is practical and also accepts that his advice will not suit every parent (the whole smacking issue rears its head). A generally great book full of hints and ideas. Buy it now!

I thought I was a bad parent until I read this book and then I realised that I was normal and so was my toddler. It boosted my confidence and gave good advice in a nice and simple way. I would recommend this book to any parent with a toddler.
