Toddler Taming - Dr. Christopher Green

I must confess that I am lucky enough to have children with good temperaments. The only thing that did concern me about my two year old was her anti-social behaviour. I mentioned it to my health visitor and was assured that this was quite normal behaviour for a toddler. She did, however, recommend that I have a read of a book called Toddler Taming by Dr Christopher Green. I originally tried to borrow it from the library, but they didn't have it in at the time, so I decided to buy it instead. I have heard rumours that Amazon is a good place for low prices on books, so that's where I went to see if they had it. They had several editions of Toddler ...  Read the complete review

These are the words I heard a mother use to her three year old in the supermarket the other day! The little tykes crime?? To put in the shopping basket some sweets that he had been told repeatedly he couldn’t have. Needless to say he then proceeded to scream and whine and rant and rave until the poor mother agreed – mummy 0 toddler 1. How many times whilst out shopping do you see this happening?

Well here it is folks, not exactly a new book on the scene, but has been updated for today’s little hellions! Toddler Taming by Dr ...  Read the complete review

I think most parenting books should be chucking in the bin. Parenting books are not bibles, manuals or reference books. Most seem to have one thing in common, they are unpractical and hypocritical. To a first time mum, most parenting books can send waves of panic through them if their child haven't developed at the time the book states. I know.... I was one of them. I gave one to a friend in the end. Every month I would look up to see what my daughter should be doing. I was proud that she was further on in some things but then panic if she was behind on any development.. So got I panicky all the time. The pictures most books will show you are happy babies, ...  Read the complete review

I first bought my precious copy of this book when my eldest child was around the 3 year old age mark: I imagine this is what most buyers of this book will have in common! The most important thing that the parent of a toddler is looking for, is reassurance that their situation is normal, and this book certainly gives you that: With great dry humour, Dr Christopher Green talks to you soothingly yet somewhat sarcastically from the pages of this book, like a more experienced, older friend. Actually, I wish I had heard of it earlier: 3 is a bit late for the 'toddler' in the title, I would recommend reading this during your first pregnancy :) in order ...  Read the complete review
