Happiest Toddler Parents TV - For Mom

[leigh7470]

I read this book and yeah you do feel stupid at first doing the technics but I have never been so blown away in my life. My 2 yr grandbaby would have major meltdowns if she was tired and I tried exactly what he says to do an it works so well!! Its amazing and I wish I read this book a long time ago. It totally explains how toddlers think about things and I'm so glad I read this book. If you just try it I promise time with your baby -thru 5yr old will be so much more fun an relaxing!!! Try it!!

He's advocating relating to your child at their level. It doesn't help to use your PhD words if they're screaming and crying. He's talking about validating your child by acknowledging their feelings, then providing direction. I wouldn't lay next to a child while they tantrum as it reinforces negative behavior. I would go straight to the acknowledgment of feelings and then ignore. BTW, you don't have time NOT to practice good parenting.

As parents we should not care what others think. We should do all we can to make our children happy, healthy, and ready to be well rounded adults. Dr. Karp was not saying we should talk to our children like children 24/7 he means when there having a tantrum or a fit.

Baby talk, that's a secret?

[RampageIsMyGame]

Yeah, I'm going to talk like a baby to my kid so that they will never learn how to maturely speak, and communicate their problems maturely. No thanks.

I think this would be a really good technique, but i'd still feel like a dickhead if i lay down next to a kid and mimicked their temper tantrum. Definatley only something id do home alone lol

I think it's very odd to say "I'm too busy, so I can't practice better parenting techniques"... I am very busy and that's precisely why I need better parenting techniques. Not to mention, parenting is what I'm the most busy with, certainly my most important "to do"

[charlenekarras]

watever what if im busy hes got all the time in the world for this cause he's got money I gott crap to do still

[elysiamorasco]

I can relate to being a busy mom, but I've noticed that you get out of parenting what you put into it. There is always time to be a good parent.

I watched Dr Karp at the Vancouver Library two nights ago and this guy really works magic. It is bizzare to watch at first. Very Cool! It really works.
