Toddler Troubles: Coping with your Under-5's

Summary

NO! Small children can be demanding and exhausting. Next minute they're all sweet and loveable again. Coping with the ups and downs of looking after the under-5s can often leave you feeling confused and guilty. Jo Douglas understands how hard it is when small children refuse to eat or sleep. A parent and clinical psychologist, she has been working with families for over 25 years. In Toddler Troubles, she provides effective ideas for handling common problems in family life, like temper tantrums, endless questions, toilet training, eating and sleeping, and coping with brothers and sisters. Toddler Troubles shows you how to be a sensitive and sensible parent, how best to look after your child. AND, how best to look after yourself. ..."not simply another 'opinionated' child care text, but one that is evidence-led wherever possible...I heartily recommend it". Professor Martin Herbert
