Trust Me I'm A Toddler

Trust Me, I'm a Toddler is for anyone who wants to parent gently and peacefully through the toddler stage, creating lasting respect and acceptance within their families. It provides practical, loving and respectful solutions to the issues that parents may face during this time.

Covering subjects from biting and sharing, to tantrums and separation anxiety, this book aids parents in moving away from conventional parenting techniques, which damage the parent child relationship, instead focusing on alternative ideas and tools that strengthen the parent child bond.

Our children are worthy of our trust and our respect. If we give this to them unconditionally, they will prove themselves to be cooperative, loving and social members of the family. Evolution has not designed us as a species to be constantly in conflict with our children. The conventional rules of parenting have led us down the wrong path.

It's time we got back to the simple and harmonious parenting nature intended
