Summary: I've used and loaned so often that my copy is now Dog Eared!
Review: This book is a small but powerful tool for parents! I recommend reading it even before your children hit the "toddler years" because this book put me in such a great state of mind for parenting. I was observing the way my daughter's caregiver was interacting with the toddlers in her room when my daughter was still just an infant and I was amazed and astounded by the approach and results that this caregiver reached with the "Terrible Twos". I asked her more about her philosphy and she lent me this book to read. This book still hits the heart of my current philosphy of parenting my now six year old daughter. P.S. It has worked tremendously well for with my now 3 yr old son!!! Thanks Irene and the Santa Cruz Toddler Care Center

Summary: You need a book a for this?
Review: This book is a waste of time and money. It is written in large type with a lot of empty space on the pages. I was hoping to learn new parenting strategies to use with my 20-month old son, and didn't read anything that I hadn't heard before. The bottom line is that there is really no substance to this book at all. Each chapter is literally 1-2 pages long.

Summary: Dealing with real life problems
Review: This book is a wonderful way to look at daily dealings with toddlers and learn how to make your life as a parent easier. I work at a day care in the toddler room and this book helped me to look at our toddlers in a new way. By being aware of their development and stages of life I was better able to learn from them.

Summary: Thumbs Up for this Book
Review: This is a great book. It isn't often I find one book that so closely characterizes my child's behavior and how I can deal with it. Easy read. Very clever. Very helpful. Gives easy guidelines...Here is problem: Here is conflict: This is why the toddler has the problem: This is what you can say and do to resolve the incident. From a fan of the Sears' books this book shares the same type of philosophy. I only wish there was more. The strategies worked miracles on my 2.9 year old boy. I give this book high praise! Helped me understand my son.

Summary: Easy to read, great advice in being with toddlers.
Review: Toddlers are very challanging! 1,2,3...The Toddler years talks about specific toddler behaviors: biting, sleeping, toileting, tantrums, etc and gives guidelines on how to work with those behaviors while treating the kid respectfully! Read this book.
