Best Seller Books: On Becoming Toddlerwise Review

As a physician and a mother, I have found the Babywise/Toddlerwise/Childwise series to be extremely helpful for raising and training my children!As an aside, I raised my daughter using the principles in Babywise.I nursed her for 8 months, and never experienced difficulty with optimal weight gain.My daughter slept through the night at 9 weeks, and was a happy baby.I am often complemented by friends and work colleagues about how well-behaved my children are, and I owe much of that to the Ezzo texts for teaching me some practical things about child-rearing.

For those of you with children between 2 and 3, you may find further useful information in the next edition, Childwise (ages 3-7).There was not as much information in the Toddlerwise edition about controlling/preventing certain behaviors (e.g., tantrums), but I found a wealth of information in the Childwise edition.

I will say that I felt the potty training section in Toddlerwise was less helpful to me.I did purchase their recommended text, Toilet Training in Less Than a Day (also recommended by Dr. Phil), and found it to be inspiring, but somewhat disappointing.

For the contemplative parent, who is considering this purchase:
Yes, there is a foundation based on Biblical principle, with practical applications. If you find offense in Bible-based theories, then don't bother with the Ezzo series, because you lack the foundation on which to build these principles. If you are the type of parent that seeks to be "an equal partner" with your child, don't bother. The principles presented in the Ezzo texts will continually challenge your parenting philosophy. For those who seek a method of *training*, with practical applications, and are up to the challenge of active parenting, then this may be just what you are looking for.It sure has been for my family, and I continue to refer to many of the Ezzo guidelines as I raise my children.Our children are the envy of our friends and family for their good behavior.Sure, they have their bad days just like any other person, but you'll never see them on Nanny 911...
