About this audiobook
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, uncanny intuition, and results-getting guidance in her new book, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers. Yes, the toddler years have their stresses and challenges for both parents and children-but with Tracy at your side, you'll find that this can also be the most fascinating and rewarding stretch of parenthood.
As in her hugely popular first book, Tracy brings her vast experience to bear on the issues and dilemmas with which all parents grapple during toddlerhood. 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.
• 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: the 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.
Tracy knows that your child is special-a one-of-a-kind individual with her own gifts and needs-and she has dedicated this marvelous new book to helping you appreciate and respect your child's uniqueness. Whether it's making new friends, mastering potty training, or eating at the family dinner table, your child will do it in her own way and at his own pace. With Tracy as your guide, you can share in the achievements of toddlerhood every step of the way.
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5this was a very good listen.
i really enjoyed it.
didnt agree with it all, so will chew the meat and spit out the bones. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Absolutely repellent. Didn’t enjoy the book at all but kept reading to make sure I was informed enough to review here. The idea that babies and toddlers can manipulate their parents, labelling some children ‘difficult’, the notion that parents have to whip children into shape, withhold love, punish, isolate, shame and control children is a far miss in my view. No wonder there is such an abundance of depression, loneliness and illness in Western society, if these old fashioned views and techniques are prevalent. The author seems to miss that good (read controlled) behaviour does NOT equal a happy, healthy child and does not promote a good childhood and content adult. Avoid.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have not read Secrets of the Baby Whisperer but this book was great. Granted, since I read so much, I already knew most of these tactics even before my children were born but it is different actually putting them into practice sometimes.
Chapter Headings: Toddler Whispering, Loving the Toddler You Have, H.E.L.P. to the rescue, R&R (Routines and Rituals), Nappies No More, Toddler Talk, The Real World, Conscious Discipline, Time Busters and When Baby Makes Four.
However, before I go on about what I liked about this book, I must state the one thing that I HATED about this book. I'm not your luv or your ducky. I hate it when people call me hun or luv and it's even worse through a book when it's someone you've never even met. Every time she said luv or ducky I wanted to hurl the book across the room. When she does a reprint, I STRONGLY advise her to take those terms out. It's degrading and makes me feel like a stupid girl who knows nothing about the subject of child rearing. However, as annoying as that is, it doesn't have anything to do with the actual information in this book which is why it's still 5 stars.
I think the Loving the Toddler You Have chapter is THE most important. A lot of toddler troubles start because parents aren't accepting the type of child they have and are expecting them to be someone they are not. Tracy Hogg puts children into one of 5 categories, Angel, Textbook, Touchy, Grumpy and Spirited. Depending on which category your child falls into, will depend on how they react to certain situations. For example an Angel toddler will make new friends easily and will have little problem sharing toys and playing with others. A touchy or grumpy child however won't want to be looked at or touched, let alone sharing toys. However, there is NOTHING you can do to change your child.
All throughout the book, real-life stories are told along with how Tracy helped the family with their problem(s.) Also tips are woven throughout as well. I always find real-life stories much easier to identify with than hypothetical ones.
I STRONGLY recommend this book to ALL parents of toddlers, preferably once your child turns 8 months. Don't wait.3 people found this helpful
