The Happiest Toddler on the Block: The New Way to Stop the Daily Battle of Wills and Raise a Secure and Well-Behaved One- to Four-Year-Old

In one of the most useful advances in parenting techniques of the past twenty-five years, renowned child-development expert Dr. Harvey Karp reveals an amazingly effective method to clam crying toddlers...

Here is a remarkable new way to soothe toddlers' stormy outbursts: by speaking to them in their own primitive language - Toddler-ese! This highly successful technique works in accordance with Dr. Karp's realization that between the ages of one and four, children go though four stages of growth, each linked to the development of the brain - and each echoing a major step in prehistoric humankind's journey to civilization.

Using a stage-by-stage approach, Dr. Karp explains how Toddler-ese will help you transform your pint-sized caveman into a happy, cooperative, and secure child - and shows you how to manage the major challenges all parents face, including bedtime struggles, separation anxiety, toilet training, and aggression. The result: fewer tantrums, less yelling - and more happy, loving time for you and your child.
