Summary: Straightforward advice with a sense of humor
Comment: Rosemond provides a no-nonsense, commonsense approach to parenting where the goal of each stage is to allow your child to grow into the next stage with firm and loving guidance, but little interference. He is a delightfully humorous writer who obviously loves children. If you have not read any of John Rosemond's books, I suggest that you read his Six Point Plan first. He builds on the foundation he provided in the John Rosemond's Six Point Plan to Raising Happy, Healthy Children, and I was certainly glad I had read it before I started this book. That being said, there is a tremendous amount in Making the 'Terrible' Two's Terrific that is specific to this particular age and the subject warrants its own book. Yes-there is a potty training chapter too! He devotes the first section to the different developmental wonders of two year olds and the challenges these can create for parents. I've found, as a parent, that understanding my daughter's developmental needs has led to greater patience. This is a scary time for kids, as they are beginning to realize that the world does not revolve around them. He fully understands that two year olds have limited attention span and while he is viewed as a conservative, his approach emphasizes prevention at this stage and is not overly harsh. END

Summary: Don't Wait 'til the 2nd Birthday!
Comment: As John Rosemond makes clear, the secret to raising a healthy, happy two-year-old starts long before the child's second birthday. Fortunately, we found the common sense and heart-felt humor in his advice to be a sanity check for most of what we'd already thought was right. Anyone with questions will undoubtedly find much to help with the sometimes difficult and always rewarding responsibility of raising a small child.
In a book so full of useful information -- offered in a firm but loving tone -- it is difficult to identify the most significant piece. We bought the book for a complete description of Rosemond's potty-training method (try it; it works!), but there's much, much more there. "Making the Terrible Twos Terrific!" contains probably the best perspective ever written on the difficult transition that children go through from infancy to toddler-hood. Remember, Rosemond tells us, when your baby was born, he opened his eyes, looked at the world and thought, "Wow! Look what I did!" It's from this completely egocentric outlook that the toddler begins his transition into a social human being. Given that viewpoint, it is easy for parents to learn how to best manage and nurture this wonderful, magic time.
Read the book. Keep it for reference. Enjoy it. Then go and enjoy your little person-to-be.
