The final quarter of last year was pretty rough, and we were struggling a lot with our parenting of little e, just not knowing how to improve things, and feeling pretty defeated. Things really weren't going well, so we were hugely thankful when we came upon this book, Terrific Toddlers by Mel Hayde, which has made a massive difference for us already.I highly recommend it to any parents of young kids, or to those planning to have kids. To be honest, it is the one parenting book I've actually made it through, and the one that I have not gotten frustrated with while reading.
A couple of weeks ago we put into action the stuff we read about, and it has changed things a lot in our household. Everyone is a lot happier, a lot more relaxed, and there are far fewer battles and tantrums. It's been a great start.

Hi Ben,
Your blog was recommended to me by my good friend Thora (who attends your church). I have been writing about "Terrific Toddlers" (on and off) on my blog and wondered if it would be okay for me to link to this post. Good to see the testimony of parents of a slightly older child than mine, witnessing the before and after of using the ideas in this book.
Hi Julie,
Thanks for stopping by. Funnily enough, it was actually Thora who lent us the books! We've since bought our own copies.
I'll check out your blog, and yes of course it's fine to link to this- thanks.
