A great start. That what this author is asking us to create for our toddlers. But, how to you create a great start for your child?By Thomas Fiorella Jr
The author, a psychologist and head of a research center and nursery school argues that you must must first understand how the brain of a toddler works so that you can help him or her thrive on her terms. This is different than the instincts of most parents, and many books, where you hope to learn how to make kids listen. And, it's different than controlling kids' 'childish' or 'self-centered' whims or shaming them into following our rules.
When you're thinking about some common parenting challenge, like getting 2-4 year-olds to share, you need to learn what the experts know about toddler's brains and incorporate that knowledge into what she calls your 'Parenting POV.' Then you you can re-frame the problem both in your mind and during your time with your child. You are freed to stop banging your head against a brick wall because you understand what your child is capable of.
When we, as parents understand that 2-year-olds have no capacity to share, that they can't understand that concept, then we can stop being embarrassed when they take things from other kids. We can stop stressing and sounding like a broken record. The author gives us some strategies to re-frame the situation (have two or more of certain loved toys available for play dates. Use language like "I see that you are playing with that truck. It looks like XXX (another child) wants to play too. When you are finished, she can play."
This is not a one size fits all book. You gotta think about your background and what you bring to your relationship with your child. But you get piles of smart advice that helps you slow down, relax, re-frame and give (what this expert knows) is a better response to the common challenges of parenting a young child.
I was given a review copy of this book prior to the official release date. Any parent looking for insight into ways they can better connect with their toddler will be satisfied with this book. I know I was. As a mother of 4, I've experienced my share of toddler meltdowns. Klein does a nice job weaving stories of toddlers and their parents in situations and how they may have handled them differently. She really focuses on how you can create a meaningful relationship with your child and steers clear of 'stock' advice and generalizations about toddlers. I felt like I was really getting an expert opinion. My only wish is for an audio version for listening in the car while running errands. But this is a book the average parent can dip into rather than read cover to cover. The chapters are broken up nicely by topic and don't necessarily need to be read in order, however I do think the first three chapters should be read in order.By Caryn Talty
