Well-mannered children aren't born: they're raised. And raising them is easier than you think--find out how.

The average parent disciplines their toddler 20 times an hour. Toddlers are hard work. But you already know that: that's why you're here.

If you've ever felt the humiliation of a supermarket meltdown or the frustration of a tantrum about a teddy bear, then you've come to the right place.

Few parents are prepared for the toddler stage--the non-stop switching between a cuddly angel and an unstoppable force of nature; the constant questions; the regular defiance... Parenting isn't black and white, and neither is toddler behavior.

Every child is different, and there's no guaranteed road map for parenting a toddler... but there is a way you can make your life easier. There is a way you can raise a polite, articulate person out of this little hurricane.

What's more, it's possible to protect your sanity, nurture a happy child, and enjoy the process at the same time. You just need a few tricks up your sleeve.
