I swore by Baby Sense, Sleep Sense and Feeding Sense when the twins were little and I think I expected the same 'fix' from Toddler Sense. Unfortunately for me toddlers are much more complex and as a result I didn't find this book as good as the baby focused ones.

I do still refer to it from time to time when we face a new or renewed challenge e.g. with sleep, but all in all not fabulour

I read this book before our daughter was born. Our son is a very sensitive soul and I learned so much from the book. I will advice this book for any parent and it is a book that you must reread every year. Thank you Ann Richardson.

Good overall guide to raising a toddler. With a focus on understanding your child's perspective and personality as it starts coming to the fore.

Extremely helpful. The book is a gentle reminder that small children don't feel the world the way we do. And we need to remember that when they are grumpy. We can then better answer the question as to why they are grumpy.
