## Description

How do you respond to the toddler who won't brush his teeth? The five-year old who pinches the baby? The child who throws everything she can reach? Well, parenting experts Joanna Faber and Julie King have the answers, and are here to help. Part of the internationally bestselling How to Talk... parenting series, this user-friendly guide gives insights and tried-and-tested strategies to navigate the everyday challenges of life with children ages 2-7, showing you how to put them into practice in real-life scenarios. Whether you want to learn how to understand and handle your children's emotions, give effective praise, engage cooperation in the common areas of daily - and nightly - conflict, or address the special needs of children with autism and sensory issues, this accessible book is filled with top tips, relatable stories and forward-thinking techniques designed to transform how you parent your children.

Review: 100% Recommend to Anyone Interacting With Young Children - I absolutely love this book and continue to reflect back on its key takeaways to help me embed the principles. I didn’t realise how much I was dismissing my 3 year old son’s emotions until reading this; the framing of an adult conversation really helped clarify and see how I needed to change my responses. It seems so obvious, yet I was stuck in my ways of a playful reply of ‘ah you don’t hate it, you had it yesterday’ not realising the harm it was doing. Within the first day of reading, I tried out some of the tools to try and get him to sit down to eat…and it worked, no more questions, no more running off to play, just willingness and acceptance. Surely this was a fluke. I continued over the following days to keep thinking back to the principles and try to implement them. It was a struggle in the moment as my brain wouldn’t always pick the right approach and remember what I had read (Mel Robbins ‘Let them theory’ came in handy a few times) but I would eventually figure out and remember the right type and they really helped. My biggest takeaway and reason I continue to reflect back on this though is that within the first week, there was a situation where my 3 year old was about to build up and get upset but using the steps and tools of the first section I recognised this and simply accepted his emotions instead of my usual palming off reply…and I’ll never forget the pause and look on his face as he finally felt that acceptance and clearly felt heard. I felt so mean that he clearly hadn’t felt this way before, yet so happy I now had this awareness moving forward. Physically seeing how much weight I took away in that moment has made me realise how something so small in my world makes such a big difference in his world; something highlighted throughout the book. This along with insight on how a simple rephrase of praise can have such a positive/negative impact on their future actions, I would 100% recommend this book to not only parents/guardians but any adult interacting with children. Our actions really do make a big difference.
Review: Fantastic parenting book for toddlers! - The best parenting book I have read so far. I’ve used so many of the tools and advice from this book with my 2 year old and they’ve had such a positive impact on my parenting and my child’s emotional stability. We’ve had little to no terrible two meltdowns and this book has definitely helped us both to de escalate ant issues that may be bubbling. I’ve bought it for 2 friends since!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good book and tips!
*by L***3 on 16 March 2025*

It’s a great book for parents of young children. I only wish it had MORE examples with situations. As I personally really struggle to find words in situations when little one throws a tantrum. It has lots of examples and sometimes they WORK! But as it’s said in a book toddlers are human beings and you can’t always win a battle🥲
