Review: Buy it, it might save your sanity and you'll laugh along the way - Gentle, respectful, yet practical and realistic. It has made my life much happier and easier! There are numerous tools in here which REALLY WORK and take a bit of practice, but it's worth it. The tools preserve the relationship between you and your child, yet enable you to protect your own feelings, desires and boundaries. I read the audiobook version and I love it - it had me laughing out loud throughout. I feel like the authors "get" where I am coming from and have solutions to my daily struggles with my 2 and 4 year old. Easy to read (listen) in this format, not having much time, I mainly listened in the car or when cooking etc. Fairly long book but the main points are in the first few chapters. The only area which I felt it hasn't helped massively was sleep (The Holy Grail!!) - there is a chapter devoted to it but there wasn't anything in there I wasn't already doing. Having said that, applying the other tools in the book generally through the day has improved bedtime struggles a bit and most importantly, I am coping with those struggles better.
Review: I haven't even read the full book yet - but completely recommend it already. I bought the kindle edition on a whim because our toddlers just turned 2 and the book was just £2.50. Let me tell you, I'm just about 50 pages in, and have already used two tips from the book. First we ran out of bananas. I was looking at a complete meltdown and in reaction I used one of the first things mentioned in the book: Write a shopping list. My husband thought I was crazy, but within seconds meltdown was averted, and my daughter was just happily pointing at the word Banana and my bad drawing on our list. Next day, another meltdown because breakfast wasn't ready fast enough. So I went all over the top, just like the book recommended. "Noooooo breakfast isn't done yet! And we really need that bread! Oh noooo look at this I'm almost done!" Meltdown stopped, my daughter just looked at me as if I'd grown a second head, then again happily waited until food was ready. I have also noticed I stopped asking my daughters so many questions. I just make statements. Instead of "Did you hurt yourself? What's going on?" I just say "Oh that has hurt!" and then listen to them for a second. Even that slight change in my behaviour makes such a big difference in the way our twins are reacting and dealing with things, just like the book says. All in all, it is really easy to read, and gives great tips on how to deal with small people. I am so happy I bought it. Completely recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good book and tips!
*by L***3 on 16 March 2025*

It’s a great book for parents of young children. I only wish it had MORE examples with situations. As I personally really struggle to find words in situations when little one throws a tantrum. It has lots of examples and sometimes they WORK! But as it’s said in a book toddlers are human beings and you can’t always win a battle🥲
