Real-world, from-the-trenches toddler parenting advice from the
author of the bestselling Oh Crap! Potty Training.
Toddlers-commonly defined as children aged between two and five
years old-can be a horribly misunderstood bunch. What most parents
view as bad behavior is in fact just curious behavior. Toddlerdom
is the age of individuation, seeking control, and above all,
learning how the world works. But this misunderstanding between
parents and child can lead to power struggles, tantrums, and even
diminished growth and creativity. The recent push of early
intellectualism coupled with a desire to "make childhood magical"
has created a strange paradox-we have three-year-olds with math and
Mandarin tutors who don't know how to dress themselves and are
sitting in their own poop. We are pushing the toddler mind beyond
its limit but simultaneously keeping them far below their own
natural capabilities. In the frank, funny, and totally authentic Oh
Crap! I Have a Toddler, social worker Jamie Glowacki helps parents
work through what she considers the five essential components of
raising toddlers: -Engaging the toddler mind -Working with the
toddler body -Understanding and dealing with the toddler behavior
-Creating a good toddler environment -You, the parent Oh Crap! I
Have a Toddler is about doing more with less-and bringing real
childhood back from the brink of over-scheduled, over-stimulated,
helicopter parenting. With her signature down-and-dirty,
friend-to-friend advice, Jamie is here to help you experience the
joy of parenting again and giving your child-and yourself-the
freedom to let them grow at their own pace and become who they are.
