lol...maybe the kid calmed down cuz he's thinkinig : "...wow, mommys got a screw loose...I better humor the old girl..."

Resvgram - whoa!! Yes, it's true that discipline is important when they're toddlers but an "arse-beating" isn't the answer. You should read and get the dvd of "the Happiest Toddler on the Block" - it saved our family's life. You can learn to speak "toddlerese" and learn what they want, what they need, and how to communicate with them like the little human beings they are.

@celticwhim spanking doesn't work. Trust me. I even ask my 3 year old "Do you like to get spanked or what?" and he will reply with a yes. No matter how hard or how often it just doesn't work.

Wat if someone make fun out of you name, pathetic irony? Don't want to get too personal, if you get annoyed, it wasn't my intention, but learn how to listen what other people's opinion. accept it or not it's fine. People have different opinions and idea, if you'll listen you might get something from it. Well watch the video as long as you want, but for us parents it's a huge help. I don't push or insist anything, we have the freedom to choose what we believe or not. by the way not a good irony,

@kulindang Just pointing out the irony of his name being so very close to crap. Sort of like Dr. Lipshitz... And I would stop watching his video if you would stop sending me back to it to read your comment.

[kulindang]

@Virchew I respect your decision, but stop insulting other people the way you change Dr. Karp's name to Krap, many parents are grateful with his help,and if you don't agree with him. then stop watching his video.

[Virchew]

@kulindang It seems that you are bent on discrediting my opinion on childcare. You need to actually listen to what I'm saying. I still do not agree that repeating what your child says in a childish, sing-song, manner is logical or effective. And no, I won't be using the Karp method with my children. That's my choice and opinion, let me have it.

[kulindang]

@Virchew Yes you are right this is not exclusive for parents but this is also a good knowledge for soon-to-be parents. it's much better to become more aware and prepared. It doesn't mean you surrounded by toddlers all of your life that you already know the difficulties of parents experiencing with their kids 24 hours a day. you will understand this once you become a parent maybe one day you will do Dr. Karp's advises when you don't have any choice.

[kulindang]

@Virchew watch the video again parents did not talk like a baby or use 'Baby talk' . They are just repeating what their child saying to tell that they understands what their child wants before they convey their own message. The situation is 'give and take' fare communication between parents and children not one way communication. you obviously watched how Dr. Karp's(krap to what you call that is so insulting to a Dr. whose main agenda is to help parents) advises shows a fast and good results.

[Virchew]

@kulindang When I said that parents should speak to their children in an adult voice I meant no baby-talk. And, though I don't have any children of my own, I have been around toddlers all of my life because my mother has owned a daycare since before I can remember. This issue is not just exclusive to parents.
