The happiest toddler on the block - Harvey Karp

Perfect for expecting parents who want to prepare themselves for the challenging toddler years (which starts around eight months of age), this essential guide, a national bestseller by respected pediatrician and child development expert Dr. Harvey Karp, not only helps reduce tantrums but makes happy kids even happier by boosting patience, cooperation, and self-confidence.

This streamlined revision of the breakthrough bestseller by renowned child-development
expert Dr. Harvey Karp will do even more to help busy parents survive the "terrible
twos" and beyond....

In one of the most revolutionary advances in parenting of the
past twenty-five years, Dr. Karp revealed that toddlers often act like uncivilized
little cavemen, with a primitive way of thinking and communicating that is all their
own. In this revised edition of his parenting classic, Dr. Karp has made his innovative
approach easier to learn-and put into action-than ever before.

Combining his trademark
tools of Toddler-ese and the Fast-Food Rule with a highly effective new green light/yellow
light/red light method for molding toddler behavior, Dr. Karp provides fast solutions
for today's busy and stressed parents. As you discover ways to boost your child's
good (green light) behavior, curb his annoying (yellow light) behavior, and immediately
stop his unacceptable (red light) behavior you will learn how to soothe his stormy
outbursts with amazing success-and better yet, prevent these outbursts before they
begin! And the new thirty-item glossary of Dr. Karp's parenting techniques will save
you valuable time when you need to instantly calm an out-of-control child. The result:
fewer tantrums, less yelling, and more happy, loving time for you and your child.
