Product Description

Product Description
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.

From the Publisher
Bestselling paediatrician and childcare author Dr Christopher Green, well known for his TV and newspaper work, has been hailed as the natural successor to Penelope Leach and Sheila Kitzinger, and his bestselling bible for the parents of toddlers has sold almost a million copies worldwide, over 320,000 in the UK alone. Belfast born and now living in Sydney, Australia, he offers a reassuringly bracing approach, and regularly updates the book to include the latest good advice (the next revised edition is due in July 2001). When your children get beyond the toddler stage you can also turn to Beyond Toddlerdom to help keep your 5-12-year-olds on the rails, and if necessary, Understanding A.D.H.D. is the definitive guide to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: both are available in paperback from Vermilion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great common sense advice, 12 Mar 2003
By A Customer
My 20 month-old daughter has become an expert tantrum thrower - usually in the middle of the supermarket! I felt like I must be a bad parent or she wouldn't behave like this. Dr Green's book makes easy reading. Normally with parenting books, I just flip to the relevant section and ignore the rest, but I've read this one from cover to cover. His advice is sensible and practical, and above all makes you feel like you're not alone, and that your child is just being a typical toddler. His style is humorous and down-to-earth. I'm determined to try out the Time Out option. Above all, he reminds us not to beat ourselves up for getting worn out!
Well worth a read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved my sanity !!!, 4 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This book is an enormous help when you are faced with a beligerant toddler. It gives practical, sensible suggestions and helps you to realise that your child is:
a) normal
b) going to pss through this difficult patch and
c)is not the devil reincarnated !!

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Saver!, 10 Jul 2007
Our little bundle of joy was crying, screaming and kicking all day long. We thought he just wasn't normal, that we had done something wrong and bought this book to see if it could help. IT DID! It teaches you to put yourself in tiny toddler shoes and see life through their eyes. After understanding their mind your life will get a lot easier than it was. This book is a must have!
