I read it simultaneously so we could discuss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-favorite-parenting-book#post-2735111 Fri, 12 May 2017 07:19:51 +0000 Miss Ariel 2735111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently read "How to Talk so Little Kids will listen" and really liked it. There definitely been a few tips I've picked up that have been helpful with my 2-year-old. Things like instead of telling or asking her to go to the potty asking how to get there (fly like a bird or hop like a bunny?). So she still has choices but is only offered what you want her to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-favorite-parenting-book#post-2735097 Fri, 12 May 2017 06:21:46 +0000 winniebee 2735097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No bad kids, hands down. It's great for helping to set limits! I prefer the audio version so you can hear the tone of her voice when speaking to toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-favorite-parenting-book#post-2735093 Fri, 12 May 2017 06:15:24 +0000 RonjaL7 2735093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: Great idea for both of us to read the book... now for how I will get my husband to read it???? LOL</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-favorite-parenting-book#post-2734626 Thu, 11 May 2017 13:44:33 +0000 LBee 2734626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Previously I would have said "No Bad Kids," but a friend recommended "The Whole-Brain Child" (I'm in the middle of it) and I'm loving it. </p> <p>At the risk of sounding obnoxious, the key for us was BOTH reading the book. It helped for us to both decide on how we were going to handle situations like the one you mentioned above when we weren't in the heat of things. Boundaries are definitely important, but I think consistency among the primary caregivers is equally important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-favorite-parenting-book#post-2734619 Thu, 11 May 2017 13:37:54 +0000 bees_knees 2734619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a huge Janet Lansbury fan (esp for toddler discipline...I'm kind of meh on some of her suggestions re: infants). Check out her book No Bad Kids! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-favorite-parenting-book#post-2734616 Thu, 11 May 2017 13:36:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2734616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there are a lot of Janet Lansbury fans here like me! I think her book is called No Bad Kids? I didn't read it but read her blog and listen to her podcasts. </p> <p>I also think that 1 choice is enough for them. If she changes her mind again I'd probably say, I see that you change your mind; maybe you can pick this one tomorrow then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-favorite-parenting-book#post-2734607 Thu, 11 May 2017 13:26:38 +0000 RonjaL7 2734607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there isn't really a book for this parenting thing, but there must be some good ones out there.</p> <p>I'm having trouble with setting limits and discipline with my 2 year old and I want to learn some new techniques.</p> <p>For example, this morning I gave my daughter a choice of two pairs of shoes. She chose and I put them on, then she changed her mind and I switched them but before I could get the second one on she changed her mind again. My husband was like "absolutely not, she chose those and will wear those ones" and I was like "it only takes me a second who cares". I think I may have been in the wrong and would like some books to read that may help me in my approach to the kids.</p> <p>Ideas? </p>
