My husband and I are having our first buddy read😅 The terrible twos have come to call for our little guy and his pediatrician recommended this book. I'm excited and hopeful given the great reviews I've seen on it, also counting it for #nonfiction2021
pickRead this at the recommendation of the pediatrician. She suggests all parents of toddlers read it to combat the terrible twos and try to prevent issues as their children get older. I found it to be really informative and learned about my own parenting technique through stories given by other parents. 5⭐️
pickRead this parenting book all the way through and it is truly life-changing for our family. I love the key concepts:
1. Parents have three jobs: to stop "bad" behaviors, start "good" behaviors, and bond with their children
2. "Count" behaviors that can stop within 2 seconds and children go to their rooms at 3.
3. Do not use excess words or emotions when discipline is necessary, simply count
4. If time out (5 min) is served don't discuss it after
I read/post about a bunch of parenting books. This may very well be the last one you guys will ever have to see from my account (but still not making any promises 😆)
123 Magic is working!!! My 4.5 year old is responding so well to this program and I highly recommend this book if you're in need of a new direction for stopping bad behaviors and encouraging good ones.
Still reading, but I've put into place some of this already and it's been great.
There‘s not a ton of reading time in my schedule, but one of my #ReadingGoals this month is to finish this one up. Although at first glance it‘s about disciplining my child‘s behavior, it definitely still falls under #SelfImprovementSept because at its heart, it‘s just as much about controlling MY reaction to challenging behavior.

Season: summer. Everyone assumes you're busy at parties and BBQs, and instead you're reading in the AC!
pickThis book is for parents who want to draw boundaries or discipline their children in a kinder way. It uses a counting method to help children to learn about how to make their own choices to modify their behaviour.
I think this will be helpful with my son. I disagreed with the author about some of his views on children, but I liked that this method allows me to treat my son with respect while drawing appropriate boundaries.

Here are 4 books (other than all my library books) that I hope to read or finish in June.
After a day of epic parenting fails I am revisiting 1-2-3 Magic. 😬
The next season of Poldark starts on 11 June in the UK (Yippee! ❤️) so I want to catch up on that story.
And as I'm going to Spain next month I want to read Guernica re-read Shadow of the Wind. 🇪🇸
Looks like a good month!
And here is the romance one. 471 vs 37. Yeah...
so-soThis was okay, but I find it hard to trust any book with call outs labeled "Quik Tip".
Wine + parenting book. Because I have a 3 year old.
Taking a short break from fiction to try to learn just what the hell is going through the minds of my amazing-but-insane toddlers (seen here hatching a complex apple stealing scheme).
A book with a number (or 3) in the title. This book helped us so much with our son. #somethingforsept @RealLifeReading
pickI use the 1,2,3 language all day.
