This book provides practical ways to respond to the challenges of toddlerhood while nurturing a respectful relationship with your child. It covers common toddler concerns such as setting clear boundaries without yelling, understanding behaviors like biting, hitting, and tantrums, and advice for parenting strong-willed children. Lansbury’s approach to discipline is seen as an act of compassion and love, helping parents to be gentle leaders and stay calm in challenging situations.
Raising kids is a learning process, and (no doubt) there's a benefit to reflecting on the mistakes we make along the way. But Janet believes we can learn even more when we recognize and appreciate our successes, no matter how inconsequential they might seem to us as the time. Maybe it's the little bit of empathy we felt as we limited one of our child's bothersome behaviors. Or a momentary sense of confidence in ourselves as leaders rising above the fray. Or the realization that we could, just that once, let our child's feelings be without judging them, and then, the increased closeness we felt with our child when those feelings passed. In this episode Janet celebrates YOUR illuminating, inspiring stories, and she's exceedingly grateful to you for allowing her to share them.
