Product Description:
Unnerved by the ceaseless demands of your toddler? Concerned that your two-year-old isn’t developing on schedule? You clearly need to spend some time with Tracy Hogg. Nicknamed the “baby whisperer” by grateful parents because of her extraordinary gift for understanding and connecting with children, Tracy became internationally famous after the smashing success of her New York Times bestseller Secrets of the Baby Whisperer. Now Tracy is back with the same winning blend of common sense and uncanny intuition. Starting with the simple but essential premise that there is no such thing as a “typical” child, Tracy guides you through her unique programs, including
• H.E.L.P. (Hold back, Explain, Limit, Praise): the mantra that will remind you of the four elements that are critical to fostering your child’s growth and independence, while at the same time keeping him safe.
• Using T.L.C. (Talk, Listen, Clarify) to communicate with your toddler, to figure out what she is really thinking, and to best help her express herself.
• R&R: Routines and Rituals that give structure and predictability to daily life and a sense of continuity to holidays and special occasions.
• Rehearsals for Change: ways of preparing your toddler for new experiences by encouraging her to practice her skills in the safe, controlled setting of your family.
• Conscious Discipline: a way of teaching your toddler how to behave and manage his emotions, while being mindful of the lessons you teach with your own behavior.
Practical, reassuring, and written with wit and energy and boundless enthusiasm for real children and their everyday behavior, this book will be your constant companion during the magical, challenging toddler years.
Amazon.com Review:
Imagine a cheeky, less starchy Mary Poppins in the trenches with you and your toddler. British trained nurse and childcare consultant Tracy Hogg draws upon the key ideas in her bestselling, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer and applies them to those magical and challenging years between infancy and preschool.
Hogg offers parents of toddlers clear theory and techniques described in a supportive, crisp tone, often addressing parents as 'luv' or 'ducky.' Before trying any techniques, she urges parents to 'love the toddler you have' by understanding his or her unique temperament, gifts, and special needs.
That said, Hogg introduces specific tools for engaging and managing toddlers. These include 'H.E.L.P.' (hold back, explain, limit, praise); 'R&R' (routines and rituals to create structure and celebration), and 'behavior rehearsals' (a plan to prepare toddlers for new experiences). Other chapters focus on 'respectful intervention' to avoid acting out and plans to protect parents' private time. By seasoning her advice with anecdotes, sidebars, quizzes, and abundant good humor, Hogg offers companionship and common sense for parents during the toddler years. --Barbara Mackoff

Tracy Hogg helped me when my baby didn't want to sleep in his crib alone. He started to sleep all night long when he was 3 month old. I can easely undestand him and his necesities and the motherhood is so much easer for me!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless Tracy's soul. Reading this book opened my eyes to the not-so-secret, yet unnoticed little things that make it easier handling a toddler. I am enjoying my little girl so much more now, and of course, we are all having more restful nights. I highly recommend this book, specially if you read 'Secrets of the Baby Whisperer', it also worked magic in our household. I only wish I could have send Tracy a personal thank you note!
