Heard of the terrible twos? Threenagers? Toddlerhood is coming for you, and it can help to feel prepared. This essential guide is a bestseller, written by respected pediatrician and child development expert Dr. Harvey Karp, to help you manage tantrums and adopt strategies that boost patience, cooperation, and self-confidence in growing minds.
In one of the most revolutionary advances in parenting of the past twenty-five years, Dr. Karp revealed that toddlers often act like uncivilised little cavemen, with a primitive way of thinking and communicating that is all their own. In this revised edition of his parenting classic, Dr. Karp has made his innovative approach easier to learn-and put into action-than ever before.
Combining his trademark tools of Toddler-ese and the Fast-Food Rule with a highly effective new green light/yellow light/red light method for moulding toddler behavior, Dr. Karp provides fast solutions for today's busy and stressed parents. As you discover ways to boost your child's good (green light) behaviour, curb their annoying (yellow light) behaviour, and immediately stop their unacceptable (red light) behaviour you will learn how to soothe stormy outbursts with amazing success-and better yet, prevent these outbursts before they begin. And the new thirty-item glossary of Dr. Karp's parenting techniques will save you valuable time when you need to instantly calm an out-of-control child. The result: fewer tantrums, less yelling, and more happy, loving time for you and your child.
Good luck, deep breaths, godspeed, you got this etc etc!
