Worth reading but hard technique to apply

I'm a bit confused by those who find it "embarrassing"

Some helpful advice but too embarrassing!

Limited information

Good insight into toddler minds, but "Toddlerese" is silly and misguided

Worth reading but hard technique to apply.......2007-05-25

Unlike Dr. Karp's Happiest Baby on the Block, I found that this DVD did not really equip me to do the technique. However, the book and DVD do have great suggestions regarding listening and helping your child to know that you understand him. He also has great suggestions for stopping the tantrum before they start. That's why I say that it is worth reading but a difficult technique to apply. We don't do the toddler-ese because we never seemed to do it right so it did not work but we have applied other techniques and found them to be very helpful.

I'm a bit confused by those who find it "embarrassing".......2007-05-04

I can't think of anything more embarassing than dealing with a giant tantrum in public. Go with what works -- and this does!

Some helpful advice but too embarrassing!.......2007-04-11

I don't think I'd ever be able to bring myself to talk to my child like this in public. Toddlerese might work... but yikes. There is some helpful info in the video though and it does help you to understand your little guy or girl a bit better... but toddlerese is a bit much for me.

Limited information.......2007-01-21

I don't have much time to read books, so I thought getting this DVD would be better. It only covered how to deal with tantrums and talk to your toddler. I wish they would have touched on other parenting ideas to raise toddlers.

Good insight into toddler minds, but "Toddlerese" is silly and misguided.......2006-12-07

As an educator of young children and their families, I was thrilled with Dr. Karp's first book/dvd: The Happiest Baby on the Block. I heard Dr. Karp speak at a conference and was very impressed by his research and theories, and even more by his workable strategies. This one however falls very short in my opinion. I would never suggest to my teachers or parents that they speak Toddlerese (in a very whiney voice to meet the toddler at his level). Although some of us may have done this in desperation and seen that it definitely gets a toddler's attention, I believe along with child development experts (not pediatricians who generally have no training in education or social development beyond what was touched upon in their physiology courses) that modeling the behaviors we want to see is the most respectful and effective way to shape a child's behavior. Matching a child's tantrum with one of your own seems shortsighted . I bet it works wonders in a ten minute office visit though. On the other hand, there are some insightful observations that Dr. Karp makes about toddler minds, but there are much better and more complete sources for this. And you are probably interested in this dvd for dealing with discipline and tantrums. Try books by Magda Gerber, Alfie Kohn or Jane Nelsen for much better approaches.
