5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for First Time Parents, May 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: One Two Three the Toddler Years (Paperback)

I am so glad I found this book. As a first time parent it gave me a context for addressing specific toddler behaviors in a healthful and respectful manner for both myself and my child. The short, clear chapters on each subject enabled me to (a) finish the book and (b) refresh my memory quickly when new behaviors presented themselves. This book is a confidence builder for any parent. My oldest child is now 8 and I am still using the "respectful" techniques I learned from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dealing with real life problems, May 28, 1999

This book is a wonderful way to look at daily dealings with toddlers and learn how to make your life as a parent easier. I work at a day care in the toddler room and this book helped me to look at our toddlers in a new way. By being aware of their development and stages of life I was better able to learn from them.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've used and loaned so often that my copy is now Dog Eared!, July 31, 1997

This review is from: One Two Three the Toddler Years (Paperback)

This book is a small but powerful tool for parents! I recommend reading it even before your children hit the "toddler years" because this book put me in such a great state of mind for parenting. I was observing the way my daughter's caregiver was interacting with the toddlers in her room when my daughter was still just an infant and I was amazed and astounded by the approach and results that this caregiver reached with the "Terrible Twos". I asked her more about her philosphy and she lent me this book to read. This book still hits the heart of my current philosphy of parenting my now six year old daughter. P.S. It has worked tremendously well for with my now 3 yr old son!!! Thanks Irene and the Santa Cruz Toddler Care Center
