I've read her blog quite a bit but not the books yet. I definitely incorporate her advice into my parenting. And through her blog I've learned about Magda Gerber and RIE parenting- I want to learn more though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130862 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 14:06:58 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2130862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: :heart: Janet Lansbury! I read her blog and am trying to find time for her book, so I'm glad there's an audio version. Almost everything she talks about just feels right and makes sense to me. It works so well for our family (and my early childhood classrooms). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130766 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 13:25:51 +0000 psw27 2130766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally thought of Angela Lansbury too... thanks for the suggestion, I will add it to my list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130755 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 13:16:24 +0000 Tidybee 2130755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ive been following her blog posts and her on Facebook for short tidbits of info because I have found the idea of reading a book somewhat daunting as I'm pretty much dealing with a cranky overtired toddler every hour of the day and into the night.....so basically I really need to read it ASAP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130668 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 12:30:02 +0000 blackbird 2130668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have her sibling book on my to-read list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130473 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 11:05:44 +0000 NovBaby1112 2130473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I need to read/listen to this!! </p> <p>I wonder how her approach is different from what I do now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130427 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 10:41:40 +0000 sorrycharlie 2130427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to find this one and the how to talk so kids will listen/how to listen so kids will talk one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130415 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 10:35:42 +0000 Cole 2130415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Thank you for the suggestion! I am a big fan of playful parenting and I really want to read how to talk so kids will listen and lists so kids will talk, it has been highly recommended by a lot of people I respect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130413 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 10:33:42 +0000 edelweiss 2130413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so funny, because i just finished reading no bad kids as well, and found it super helpful. i mean yes it got repetitive and jumbled as most of these books do, but the core stuff i really liked. kids wants gentle but firm boundaries, will test them if they're not sure, want their feelings to be acknowledged, can handle a little choice, etc. anyway i've been trying to keep these things in mind and practice them. it doesn't always work, especially when LO has gotten really worked up, and sometimes i definitely lose my cool, but i am glad i read that book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130392 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 10:25:01 +0000 winniebee 2130392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Angela is her husbands aunt so not too far off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130367 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 10:11:41 +0000 honeybear 2130367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I think Angela Lansbury is Janet's in-law (I don't remember the details, but there's a family connection). She explains it on her site, if memory serves. :) And yeah, I loved "Murder, She Wrote"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130360 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 10:08:18 +0000 shellio 2130360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the rec - I actually hadn't heard of her before but just requested No Bad Kids from my library! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130346 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 10:00:35 +0000 NorthStar 2130346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol - thought the same thing too! but, glad it worked for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130343 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 09:58:52 +0000 wrkbrk 2130343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Bahaha I thought the same exact thing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130247 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 09:15:27 +0000 cascademom 2130247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: @Mae: @ValentineMommy: @Mamaof2: Haha, glad I wasn't the only one that made that connection. I got to work really early today since LO is with my parents for a few days.

I will have to check that out. Listening to a book sounds much more manageable than reading at this point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130162 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 08:45:45 +0000 cascademom 2130162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! We're a Happiest Toddler on the Block fan. For us, really listening to what he says and him understanding that we hear him helps. </p> <p>I totally thought that you said Angela Lansbury and thought, "awesome, Murder She Wrote" rocks your socks off. </p> [attach=1889/15/nm6m89.297x450.angelalans.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/janet-lansbury-is-changing-my-life#post-2130153 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 08:39:40 +0000 winniebee 2130153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been having a hard time with communicating and setting boundaries for my almost 3 year old (particularly since baby brother arrived 4m ago). So, I decided to take control to help get back my happy house. Two days ago, I read Janet Lansbury's "No Bad Kids" (well, I didn't "read" it - I listened to it on Audible via Amazon - just over 3 hours total and I did it while doing chores etc). I had read good things about her on Hellobee but felt I never had the time to read a parenting book. Her approach is respectful parenting without time outs, yelling, or spankings. I am trying very hard to implement her approaches and can say that the differences have been life changing. I wish I had started reading her works years ago. </p> <p>Is there a particular parenting book or method that works for you? </p>
