About this listen
We've all been there or done it - a child with watery eyes, begging for something they really want but can't have now. And when a parent says "no" - the drama starts.
Most of the time, parents have no idea what to do. They either panic or get angry and always embarrassed.
There is no way to avoid it, or is there?
Children are the future. Each parent wants to give them everything they can and then some. And no parent likes to say "no".
But children can't always get everything that they desire. There is a risk to spoil them.
So, what do you do?
This audiobook has the answer:
- It will teach you how to say "no" to your toddler
- And show you how your child thinks
- You will learn to deal with baby temper tantrum
- And get practical toddler discipline tips
None of us like to hear "no" our request. But it happens, and an appropriate reaction can save your kid a lot of frustrations in the future.
Parenting is hard. But you can master it if you put in an effort. You will be pleased with the results.
This audiobook will help you boost your parenting skills, understand your child better, and deepen your bond.
Don't wait - act now by listening to this audiobook right now!

Story
Despite being relatively unheard of, endometriosis affects an estimated one in 10 women worldwide. That's roughly 190 million people, and due to misdiagnosis, there's likely many more who are suffering without treatment. Getting a diagnosis of endometriosis can feel like a blessing and a curse. Knowing that you're not going crazy or blowing things out of proportion can be a huge relief. However, a diagnosis can also lead to feelings of isolation and discouragement - especially when you’re faced with treatment options that seem extreme. But don't despair - you aren't alone.

Handling a newborn is tough. But as any parent knows, what comes after the age of three makes everything before look like a walk in a park. It seems like your child learned how to talk overnight, and suddenly, you discover a whole new aspect of your parent-child relationship: communication. Many don’t even realize how crucial that moment is. Not only does your child now understand what you’re saying to them, but they also use words to express themselves.

While there are no bad kids, more often than not, there are also no bad parents. Where parents tend to go wrong lies in their discipline methods. Poor behavior from kids can drive any parent crazy, but reacting based on emotions can be the worst foundation for discipline. So why not try a different approach?

The problems in this audiobook are related to erudition in fundamental areas - nature, technology, business, science, how things work, or why things are made in a certain way.

Early and social interaction skills are essential for every child to get the best start in life. Skills like language, eye contact, and self-regulation are just some of the things your child needs in order to excel - personally and academically! Since the pandemic, both parents and teachers are becoming more concerned about children’s abilities to interact. On top of that, there are delays in referrals to specialists. As early interaction is so important, you are probably thinking that you don’t have the qualifications to make a difference. This is not true!

Feelings are not meant to be pushed down or dismissed. Here’s how to make sure your kids know what to do with theirs: If you’re like most parents, one of your primary concerns about your child, aside from their health and safety, is how you can prepare them for adulthood. Qualities associated with emotional intelligence, are a greater predictor of future success than having a high IQ and are very often overlooked. Fortunately, emotional intelligence is something that can be taught and developed, and the ideal time to do it is while your kids are still young.

Toddler Owner's Manual- Must Read!
Toddlers are a mystery and this is a must read for any parent with a toddler on their hands. Packed with great information and ideas for a win-win situation. I am the grandma, but got a copy for my youngest daughter who has a feisty one! I really wish I had the information on boundaries when I was raising my kids because it was something that took me a bit to learn. How great that my daughter can have this information right out of the gate!

Helpful for parents to new toddlers!
This book was helpful for learning how your parenting style can be used to communicate with your toddler in a more constructive way. Honestly, I don't know how anyone can ever effectively parent a toddler without a resource like this. I highly recommend because it helps you understand yourself and your kid better so you can parent well and also have a more harmonious relationship. Highly recommend!

A valuable resource!
As a mother of 3 I totally relate to so much of this book. Knowing I could be a better mother, just not knowing how, the guilt was heavy. After reading this book I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I am able to see the big picture now and that gives me the motivation and strength to continue educating and working on myself in order to accomplish the necessary changes for a more peaceful life and relationships with my babies!
Thank you for your wonderful, relatable, problem solving book!

Very Helpful
Children aren't as angelic as many people make them out to be. They may look innocent but more often than not, are well aware of their manipulative tendencies and know most adults will give into their "tantrums." I was extremely distressed with our kid who made a public scene in a grocery shop with me just because I said no to snacks. It was embarrassing and I could not control him, and had to give in. This book is helping with that a lot. With the steps in my book, I was able to make it very clear to him that this will not work with me. I have made notes from this too. Every parent should read this.
