Books : New Toddler Taming: The World's Bestselling Parenting Guide .
Rating: 
- Wonderful!
Dr Green's book is packed with fabulous, down to earth advice. Toddlers can drive their parents crazy, but this book helps you negotiate your way through the "Terrible Twos" and beyond. It's easy to read and understand and the advice REALLY works! If I were ever to meet Dr Green I would give him a big kiss as he helped me to enjoy my children and watch them develop into well behaved, happy children.
In my opinion, this is the best toddler book ever written!

- How to read your toddler
This book is definitely the best I have read about bringing up your children. Dr. Green's style is extremely easy to read, fun, confidence-inspiring and the book is full of anecdotes and advice from his years of experience both as a father and paediatrician. You can tell Dr. Green has seen it all. What I found particularly helpful was his advice on how to read your toddler, his analysis of how a toddler thinks and behaves at various stages, what can safely be ignored (making life easier for Mummy and Daddy) and what needs to be addressed and how. I rated this book with 4 stars, however, as occasionally Dr. Green will not give an answer after detailing a problem, saying instead that he has not found a bomb-proof solution yet.
Our son is not quite a fully-fledged toddler yet, but having read this book has given my husband and myself the confidence to understand what is going on in his little head and how to live with it.
Rating: - Good, common sense and entertaining
This is a great book for any new toddler-owner. Dr Green attempts to explain much of their puzzling behaviour and does so with great authority and humour. The book is full of ideas, although many more 'PC' parents will struggle with some of his suggestions (the rope-door trick?!).
The author really has seen it all, with children of his own and many many stories about the little patients he has treated over the years. He draws upon this wealth of experience and presents his theories in a very readable and accessible way. As a parent you do not feel preached at or talked down to. He works from the basic premise that you want the best for your toddler, and put that ideal in a real-life context.
All in all, a great read (and we love the little cartoons at the start of each chapter). Its not a book to read from cover to cover straight off but is great to dip into as and when you need some help - or just a different approach.
It scores 4 not 5 from me, as a lot of it seems very obvious, but I still rate this highly and recommend it to all those wondering what happened to their precious, angelic little baby!!
Rating: - Practical, readable and humourous
A great book, that covers the joys of children at this age in depth. If is a very practical book, for example, under tantrums it goes through best practice and then practical suggestions depending on location ("supermarket specials") that take in to account that 'ideals' can't work in every situation.
A great section on Nasty habits of nice children, how do you deal with biting, breath holding, vomiting, fingers up nose etc... that is great to read.
Finally it is a book that I enjoyed reading. It is well written, funny and not condesending. Highly recommended.
Rating: - Great toddler book
I read the section about sleep because my son of 1year old was waking in the middle of the night and would not get back to sleep. The book help me completely so that I was more confident and new what to do to help my son to sleep through the night. He now with the help and advice from the book sleeps through the night and there are only a few nights when he gets up.
