These books can then be signed out by the parents. Another book, Teaching with Love & Logic by Jim Fay & David Funk is a more in-depth, educator-based book that echoes the same principles. Love it, love it, love it. I am a Preschool/Kindergarten teacher. The portability and quick-reference layout makes this book a must-have for parents- as well as teachers- of young children.
I place this book on a shelf with other Parent Resource books located at the entrance to my classroom. I cannot tell you how many parents have praised this book. I saw a difference in my classroom immediately upon implementing some of the strategies myself. It is a quick, easy, and very funny read so the information sticks.
We have other books that are more in depth but tend to just collect dust in our household. This is the answer for parents who do not have the time to read huge books on crisis control when it comes to energy draining toddlers climbing the walls of parental tolerance.The book covers the classic problems of toddlerhood and provides simple solutions. The index leads you to a right on message that can be read in just a couple of minutes. Finding time for books is hard when pressed for time, but this one we use A LOT and would even take with us on travel.A highly recommended book in deed. And for those who have more time to spend, there is a list of books for further read on each subject.
I got it for that very reason, I have a 2 year old who is running the show and a new baby -- I needed help quick. I like the book recommendations in the back, though, they recommended age-appropriate children's books that help kids through difficult situations, like potty training, family deaths, new baby, etc. It was a good message and has been helpful in teaching me to avoid arguments with my 2-yr old, but I found that I am left wanting more information about all these issues. This book was very simple. After reading it by skipping around to various needed chapters, I learned that it had a quick underlying theme that is consistent throughout the book. I will open this book again, if we are faced with difficult situations and want to find some helpful books that will help our kids through the crisis. Once you get that, it becomes less helpful.
The book does contain good advice about setting limits, respecting the child, and modeling appropriate behavior - pretty standard stuff for 21st century parents. This is a book of parenting advice, not problem solving advice. I was looking for creative ideas for how to keep my toddler from screaming when I wash his hair, or, as another reviewer noted, how to get him to quit picking his nose. I will use it as a reference book, but you won't see me whipping it out in the middle of Wal-Mart. I think most people who would be interested in this book are beyond the diaper bag stage, and I don't know in whose pocket it would fit.
I love this book:) I wish I have it when I had my first born although he is 5 now but I am encouraged to buy this book after noticing that my second child is strong will and stubborn than her brother, all my strategies with my eldest won't work on her so I desperately need help. I highly recommend this book, a must for every mother or parents. Thank goodness with this book it saves my sanity. I like that you don't need to read it from the beginning to end instead you can just look at the topic you need, most likely work like a dictionary but with really useful advise and example.
