This was a fun book for getting fun ideas in how to
deal with toddler-dom. I have a current two-year-old, and though he has an
older sibling, this was helpful to me. Macpherson is humorous and “real” in her
stories and situations, which I definitely appreciate. I especially liked the
different lists that were at a bulletpoint glance to look back through for
future reference. She is equally candid about how it is hard to be a parent of
a toddler and the situations that suddenly come up because of said toddler’s
independence.
I also liked how she recognized she was not an
expert by any means, and often called in more so-called experts for different
topics such as nutrition and potty-training. My favorite lists of ideas were in
the getting kids to eat (always a hard feat at my house) and things you can do
at home to engage learning with toddlers. My little guy loves learning and full
of curiosity so excited to try some of her ideas.
Overall, this was a fun, easy-to-read book that I
will find helpful. Is it the cure all to all ailments with my toddler? No, but
it gives some fun new ideas that can help make the passage more pleasurable.
