Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Parents must discipline their children, but they must do so in a way that does not involve punishment. Punishment sends the message that your love is equal to your approval, but discipline gives your child the message that you are willing to let him suffer for his actions. #2 Parents often have unrealistic expectations for their children’s behavior. To help you put things into perspective, each chapter of this book contains developmental information with suggestions for realistic behavioral expectations for each age and stage. #3 Your child’s personality is formed by the constant interplay of temperament and environment. Your child’s activity level, rhythmicity, distractibility, and temperament will all affect how he behaves. #4 Your child’s temperament is made up of his response to new situations, his adaptability to new experiences, his attention span and persistence, and his intensity of reaction. If your child is adaptable in temperament, transitioning from one activity to another will not be a big deal.

Chapters cover the cost of raising a toddler, feeding your toddler, potty-training, tantrums, how to manage the holidays, and "how not to die inside." Parents will see themselves in the very funny sections on taking your toddler to restaurants ("One parent will spend their time walking your toddler around the restaurant and outside like a cocker spaniel, while the other, luckier parent will eat alone."), Things You Thought You'd Never Say That You Now Say As a Parent of a Toddler ("I can tell you're pooping because your eyes are watering."), and how to order pizza ("Spend $40 on pizza delivery. Listen to your toddler cry for 30 minutes about how the pizza is all wrong. Watch your toddler take a small bite of crust. Google 'can anger give you a heart attack?' Start the bedtime routine."). Laditan's wildly funny voice has attracted hundreds of thousands of fans of Honest Toddler on social media; here she speaks parent-to-tired-parent, easing the pains and challenges of raising toddlers with a hefty dose of adult humor and wit.
