I am a toddler ! Yesterday I was crawling on the floor, today I am walking and I want to conquer the world! When I see an object, it attracts me and I want to touch it but I often drop it... so my parents are not happy. But I am NOT a "terrible two"! I am ONLY two...
The transition from big baby to little child is not easy! It is a phase of multiple challenges for the family, and parents often find themselves helpless while facing this excess of energy without knowing how to channel their child.
The book was written by a mother, teacher and parent coach whose multiple experiences have given a unique vision of this period from 18 months to 3 years : that of the "Wonderful Two®" (as opposed to the terrible two)
The author shows us how toddlerhood is in fact an incredibly rich period during which our little ones are building the basis of their own personality and confidence in life.
I am NOT a terrible two is an essential guide for all young parents who want to raise their children through gentle parenting and mutual respect, without neglecting their own adult needs.
All the major themes of this period are approached in a practical way: language, potty training, removing the pacifier, bedtime, meals, screen time, emotions, anger, whims and so on.
Concrete examples and simple ideas for everyday life,
Integrating the Montessori approach easily whenever possible
- 12 cheatsheet with more ideas
- Delightful illustrations
- Easy to read and written in an authentic way
The book has reached thousands of parents in its original version in French and has become the reference for managing toddlerhood.
"The only book that really speaks to us
A revelation! I bought this book to learn how to manage my 2-year-old daughter's tantrums, but it ultimately gave me the keys to many other subjects (communication, relationships, sleep, potty training) with much kindness and love. I felt helped practically but also finally understood, by an educator and mother who never judges and who speaks to other mothers. I always have the book at hand for difficult times, when I need a word of comfort and real solutions. I also recommended it to new mothers, because the advice you can find there is entirely applicable much earlier than 18m-3 year olds and is much better than that you can find elsewhere. Very good work "
