Drawing on her decades of research and clinical practice, the author addresses a multitude of commonly asked questions, including "Why is 'no' so often a toddler's favorite response?" Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great in theory and practiceThis book has that hard-to-find balance of great explanation of theory and practical application of that theory. I've barely been able to set it down and has already helped me understand why my sweet even-keeled 2 year-old has become irrational (I know she's 2...) and emotional. But for me, understanding why 2 year-olds are so labile and illogical helps me respond better. Responding differently has helped our day go much more smoothly.

It may not be so useful to parents though. I tried to pass it along to someone I babysit for, and I think it was too over her head. I think it's a great overview though for people who already have a strong grasp of the basics of dealing with toddlerhood. Rating:  - long on psychology, short on practicalityThe Emotional Life of a Toddler is a good book for you if you're interested in the attachment theory or attachment parenting viewpoint of toddler psychology, and this book does read like a psychology text. It offers some insight into the whys, which will help you understand your toddler as a whirlwind of emotion and contradiction; however, the book does not offer any hows for living day-to-day with your tot. Therefore, if you are looking for practical advice and tips, skip this book and head to Toddler ... Read More
