No Bad Kids, and also How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen.

I loved this book and refer to it often - https://www.amazon.com/How-Toddlers-Thrive-Children-Lifelong/dp/1476735131

Do yourself a favor and read "The First Three Years of Life" by Dr. Burton White.

NP - thanks for the podcast rec! Just subscribed.

I relied on Dr. James Dobson's book The New Dare To Discipline for all of my three children and my children have as well. Very sage advice from a clinical child psychologist that is still relevant to our changing culture. He also has written other books on developing your child's self worth, the Strong Willed Child, etc. You may want to read more than one book to compare what you are learning. My best to you in your search for wise counsel on raising your children.

I've read both and completely agree with this assessment. I wouldn't even bother with Happiest Toddler.

I'm the HTOTB poster. Guess I should read No Bad Kid, I still have another one who is a toddler.

No Bad Kids

Happiest toddler on f block.

I am looking for a book to provide parenting techniques for gearing up for toddlerhood. I have a 13 month old who is quite "expressive" - very happy until she is not happy, and she lets you know it! I looked into Magic 1-2-3, but it seems like it is geared for 2 years+.

Would love recommendations for what I can start reading now that will help lay the foundation for the future! Also, please let me know why, if you have the time .

Thank you!
