No Bad Kids – Toddler Discipline Without Shame (9 Guidelines)
While I was working as a Nanny–looking after a 2 year old boy who was starting to push all of my limits–I came across the book No Bad Kids – Toddler Discipline without Shame by Janet Lansbury. It was a lifesaver for me then and now and has been for parents everywhere. Janet Lansbury is unique among parenting experts. As an RIE teacher and student of pioneering child specialist Magda Gerber, her advice is not based solely on formal studies and the research of others, but also on her twenty years of hands-on experience guiding hundreds of parents and their toddlers.
I believe this book is a must have addition to your parenting books library!
