Review

"As a pediatrician, the healthy growth of children is the central concern of my practice. By definition, "healthy" means more than positive ear, nose, and throat examinations-- it also implies emotional, physical, moral, and cognitive fitness. It includes giving a baby the best environment to grow, flourish and reach his or her full potential at each stage of development."Dr. Robert Bucknam, M.D., Founder & Director-Cornerstone Pediatrics-Louisville, CO

From the Author

There is no end to a toddler's creative expression, from the munching on crayons to striking a Superman pose while standing-- oh yes, on the grocery cart seat when your head is turned to the anti-choke bin. A toddler's day covers a gamut of challenges, including small tantrums in the pizza shop because there is a bubble on the cheese to tantrums at nap time because they are just too tired to rationalize the benefits of sleep. But there is a tender side of the same child.On Becoming Toddlerwise will focus on this brief but significant window of growth, this vibrant period of your child's life, from taking their first steps to mastering toilet training. The second year of life is an amazing, spontaneous, engaging yet challenging time for the emergent child and their parents.Toddler's minds are wonderfully driven by curiosity, a need to investigate, as well as a tendency rule the world with a smile. This is why we want to look together with why their home becomes the principal learning environment. With mom and dad as their principal teachers, join us in the adventure of discovering positive methods to assure your toddler receives the love, patience, and care they need in these precious times of developing who they are. Thank you for letting us share in the unique adventure of parenting!

A good guide to behavior and expectations

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 18, 2007

Verified Purchase

The "Babywise" series has truly helped me understand what to expect and how to deal with different issues that come up with raising a baby. I love the authors' philophies that a happy and healthy child comes from a strong and loving marriage. They also believe that we, as parents, are training our children to be positive members of society with self-control and ethics. Their parenting style isn't for everybody, but it has worked nicely for us so far, and so I expected the guidelines to follow suit in this book. "Toddlerwise" didn't disappoint, but the one thing it lacked was a section explaining how to achieve certain behaviors. For example, they believe in training your child to play independently, which I think is a very important skill. However, when they say to train your child to play in one place by themselves by laying out a blanket and having them play in that space for a certain number of minutes, I was left with the question, "What if they crawl/walk away?!" I guess you just try, try again, but I honestly was left asking the questions, "How" or "What if..." more so than I was with the first two books. Still, if you are a "Babywise" parent, you will get something out of "Toddlerwise."

This is what will get you through the terrible twos!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2013

I am a college professor who was looking for a way to give my son some structure and give myself some sanity and some sense of control. The "On Becoming" series has been the key to my success.

I have been reading this series since my son was 5 weeks old. Within a week he was sleeping through the night and eating better than ever (we were having a lot of breastfeeding problems before I read this book).

I continued to read this books as he grew older and they were all extremely helpful.

Now that he is approaching two years old, I've really turned to this particular book with more of a focus on discipline-- we already have most of the other elements under control.

These books have helped me to understand my son's perspective and gave me the ability to discern what is age-appropriate behavior that he cannot help versus bad behavior that needs to be curtailed.

It is strange to me that these books are considered "controversial" because I think they have helped make my son the healthy, rested, happy little man that he is and it has allowed me to feel in control and informed. Anyone I've ever spoken to that criticized this series had never actually read them and/or totally misunderstood the books' parenting philosophy.

People often ask me how I manage to stay stress free and unfrazzled-- this is how!

I felt like I set my expectations high when beginning to read this book, lots of mom friends raved over this book and I felt like the information provided was very basic and majority of it I have learned in a into to child development/psychology class in college. It was a good read and I did get some helpful pointers along the way but there was no big aphopany or ah ha moment

Great book if you want a sweet (or sweeter) and more obedient child

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

Love this book! This series has really helped me become a more competent parent! I look around at how other similar age children behave and I'm surprised how my child is normally WAY better behaved than all of them. (Unfortunately, the more she hangs out with other kids, the worse she has become at sharing but I guess that's something we just need to focus on more.)
My siblings are jealous of how well she behaves but I don't want to seem to be judging their parenting when I see them do something the book warns not to do, so I don't tell them about Baby Wise and Toddler Wise. It would probably help them though, but some kids do seem to naturally behave better than others (and I'm only on my first kid), so I guess we'll see if it holds up to this next one 😊

well its great if they listen to you 60% of the time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book is vague and disappointing. Don't spend your money on it. It doesn't cover anything you can't find online. They come out strong for discipline, which makes you feel quite incompetent for not having a perfectly behaved 14 month old, but then they backtrack and write, well its great if they listen to you 60% of the time. They are vague about the whole age range in the book. What can I expect from a 14 month old vs a 20 month old? They talk about structured play, but don't give specifics. I was left thinking, OK, how should I arrange the play area? What activities should I do to have more structured play? Is it OK to let my child pick from among her toys, or should I direct her? They give ABSURD examples instead of realistic ones. Their main example is that of a couple that let their 2 year old roam the house and unenclosed backyard practically unsupervised. Then, when the child inevitably got into some trouble, the couple yelled and disciplined the child. This was a ridiculous example. Of course you can't let your child roam free, and yell if they inevitably get into trouble. Of course, if you let a child take something 4 times, and then the 5th time you yell or say they can't have it, the child will be confused and think WTF, YOU LET ME HAVE THIS/GO THERE/DO THAT 4 times, and now I CAN'T DO IT AGAIN? THIS MAKES NO SENSE. Anyone can figure that out after a day on the job.

ALSO, this book is very conservative regarding gender. They state that children should only play with specifically gendered toys. I would like to hear what they might say about girls that like to get messy in the park, or show aggression or inclination for "boy" toys and behaviors, that like soccer balls more than dolls.

Toddlerwise is amazing!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love all the books in the On Becoming series. I really respect the authors and their take on parenting. Do not disregard the wealth of knowledge in these pages because someone else cut it down. You determine if these principles are helpful and I am telling you they are! The Ezzo's input and knowledge are so wise and I want to drink from that same water. My children are so happy and content and it isn't genetics. I did Babywise with my son but neglected organization and scheduling until he was 3. Preschoolwise changed our life for the better as well as Babywise. With my 2nd child, I have read each one in the series because I don't want to miss out on anything!

Would definitely recommend

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 7, 2010

Verified Purchase

I loved the "Baby Wise" book and bought "Toddler Wise" in anticipation of my son turning one. I would say that it is not quite as good as the original, as it spends a lot of time trying to sell you other books in the series. In addition some of the analogies the authors use are very long-winded. However, I cannot fault the advice itself and it has given me some very clear ideas on how to structure my routine, making sure I have time both for me and my son. In addition it gave me a lot of information on what expectations are realistic, and reassuring me that I don't need to feel guilty about trying to impose routines and discipline. If you are in favour of attachment parenting methods then this book is not for you, but personally I have found the "Wise" books to be great if you want a little more flexibility than Gina Ford advocates, but still want a successful routine.

I have followed the ezzo program since my son was born and to be honest I would recommend to anyone. The results we have seen are amazing. He has slept through the night since he was 7 weeks old.

Needs updating. X

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 10, 2021

In general I like the Babywise books for sleep training, but with this particular book they started getting into gender stereotypes and really going off about boys doing boy stuff, and girls doing girl stuff. Very rigid about enforcing gender stereotypes. Probably won't continue with the series after this one, unless they start getting with the times and perhaps add a new, younger, more progressive doctor to the author list.

This is a great compliment to the first two baby wise book. Great to give as a trilogy for a shower gift. As always, the information is somewhat intuitive, but reading it always makes you think little more and gives you some reassurance.

Good ideas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 26, 2014

Some generally useful advice, but found the balance of prosaic narrative to actual practical advice a bit off. I liked the ideas for daily routines with two children. I doubt I shall be as regimented as this, but the idea of giving each time with mummy and to play alone and together seems a good one.
