Publisher's Synopsis
Hugs and smiles and playtime: If only parenting two to five-year-olds was this simple. But any parent of a toddler knows that it, also, often, requires dealing with whining, tantrums, 'No, I won't' and other generally naughty behaviour that tests the limits of your ingenuity and patience. How can parents balance nurturing behaviours that demonstrate love and affection with the discipline all children need to learn and thrive? This book shows parents how discipline can be more about teaching than punishment and more positive than negative for both you and your child.
