Many toddlers can be wilful, stubborn and hyperactive, and yet parents often believe they are alone in experiencing such difficulties. "Toddler Taming" aims to be a bible of childcare, with practical advice which has been tried and tested by many parents and toddlers over a period of 15 years. The author acknowledges the strains of bringing up children, and seeks to calm fears of "abnormal" bad behaviour and boost parents' confidence by offering reassurance and help. New chapters in this revised edition cover "Understanding Behaviour" (eight explanations of why children do what they do), "Discipline", toddler-proofing the home, coping with tantrums, toilet training and playgroups.
