After really enjoying Happiest Baby on the Block, I was disappointed with this book. Some of the toddler-ese *might* be helpful (I'm skeptical and don't see it working for the toddlers I know). Too much of the book focused on the same old parenting advice in many other books that centers around manipulation and control.

I felt that this book offered some helpful advice and insight into how my child is experiencing life and dealing with it and the role I should play as a parent or ambassador. The part I found challenging was about speaking Toddlerese. I would find it strange to growl at my child when I didn't want her to do something...especially in public. I don't believe I will be following this piece of advice, but will use some of his other communication techniques.

I really loved reading this book. It gave me some very good insight on why my toddler is acting the way she does and what I could do to help her through this time in her life.

I really liked this book. I felt like the baby one was really just common sense to me but this one made me think a bit more. It was an easy read (read most of it in just a couple hours) and I am going to take a bunch of ideas to help take care of my toddler.
