My Personal Experience with Temper Tantrums and Terrible Twos
My wife and I have two daughters - 4 years old and 2 years old. They both went through the terrible twos and the older one has been through (as I like to call it) the terrific threes. My wife and I were at our wits end. We didn't know what to do to stop the tantrums, back talking, and overall defiance. We went through the terrible twos once with the first daughter, but when the second daughter starting going through them, it was too much. It was making us irritable, and we were constantly yelling at both our kids and each other. Our kids didn't listen, they fought all the time, they cried and threw tantrums when they did not get what they wanted, and the older one would pee her pants all the time. My wife and I tried everything, but nothing seemed to work.
Then we found Talking to Toddlers. This audio course changed the way we dealt with our children tantrums and behavior, and it has been a huge help. Not only are our kids listening to us now, but the fighting has gone down considerably, the oldest daughter stopped peeing her pants, and now my wife and I aren't yelling nearly as much. We finally made it past the toddler tantrums and the terrible twos.
Talking to Toddlers gave us the information we needed to better handle the temper tantrums. It also gave us tips on how we should talk to our kids when they do defy us. The audio course was packed with tons of information on how to control our children.
