Loved it! I was afraid it would be the same as the Instagram posts but a bit longer, but it is not! Really worth it, the index is great to look for certain topics when needed, examples of how to manage (scripts) are super useful. I am happy I bought it. My toddler is 3 and I regret not having it before but still I can use it to manage this age, when she is 4 and the new baby coming :)
This is a very helpful book, filled with straightforward advice about how to handle challenging toddler behavior. It also provides an explaination of why they do those things. Some of it seems simple, but then not everyone actually knows this information.
The knowledge in this book will give every parent the power to handle their child's behavior and improve their relationship with their child.
I can also tell you that these tips work! I was able to avoid a full blown tantrum and get my headstrong toddler to put her toys in a crate using Dr. Cathryn's advice!
The information in the book was helpful, bite-sized, and quick to get through. The presentation of the material was whimsically designed, which aided in the quick read, but was also difficult to follow and overwhelming at times.
