5.0 out of 5 stars Great for parents with toddlers!, August 10, 2005

I read this book that was loaned out to me by my son's daycare provider. (She also gave input on the proof-reading, she is a friend of Joni's....I think that's what she said and I did see her name in the book!)

I thought this book was a great book for any parent or person that will ever be caring for a toddler/child. My son is 22 months old and a lot of the things I read about in this book, he's been doing right at the age Joni writes about. I hope that I will be able to use some of what she says to help with any tantrums that my husband & I might have to deal with now that we have our 22 month old son and 3 week old twins!
