review 1: There are six key elements parents can provide for their toddler. 1. Mirror back a sense of safety and relative order2. Listen to children instead of always talking at and directing them. 3. Give children freedom to play and explore on their own4. Allow children the space and opportunity to struggle and fail5. Work to understand who each individual child is and what he needs at a given age6. Provide children with limits, boundaries, and guidance. (P. 54)Cribs provide your child with a safe and cozy place where they can unwind and be cozied in on all sides in a small space. ... Before the age of three, most children feel the safety of the crib as a comfort and relief. Taking them out too early sets them up to. Have to manage a great deal of freedom before they may be ready.... more (P. 122)
review 2: I loved this book. I think if you've read many child development books it could feel like this book lacks a lot of new information, but I really enjoyed how Tovah approached topics and delivered information in an easy to understand way. I already feel like I am more patient with my daughter and understand why she's doing what she is doing. I think this is a must read for any first time parent, or parent that is struggling with the toddler years. It can be a bit repetitive at times, but overall I really enjoyed the read and learned a great deal. I plan on keeping Tovah's takeaway points to come back to later when I need the reminder. less
