Book Reviews of Emotional Life of the Toddler
Book Review: Offers a unique insight for all Parents of Toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this title. The reason I bought it was to try to gain some insight into my own 3yr old son's shyness and it certainly gave me a clear way to help him (and I) manage and even enjoy, that behaviour. I've read many books on raising toddlers in the past and this one is written from the unique perspective of the toddler's emotional world. I personally cannot name another parenting/toddler title written in this way.
The author has obviously spent many hours, over many years, observing her subjects and this shows in this work. Whilst the author is a mother herself, I think readers may need to remember that this is a professional work by a leading child psychiatrist/psychologist and for the most part, is written from this point of view. None the less I still found it easy to read, but not necessarily from cover to cover. The layout is well suited to picking the book up when needed, and finding out what you want to know at the time. I found the chapters on Temperment Types (only 4 are explored at length in this work), The Shy Toddler (there's a chapter on Active Toddlers as well), Issues to Negotiate (including separation anxiety, toilet training and more)of most relevance to me. There's also a chapter devoted to the toddler in childcare and making the transition that bit easier for both parent and child, no matter what your child's temperament. The many anecdotes of the various toddler temperaments peppered throughout the book make for some light hearted reading along the way (why is "no!" the most used word of the toddler).
Ms Lieberman writes with both experience, compassion and empathy in the ways of her subjects, and for those of us trying to raise them. I use my copy as a referance quite regularly and will do for some time to come.
Summary of Emotional Life of the Toddler
Although a number of books discuss the physical and cognitive abilities of the toddler, Lieberman's is the first to examine the varied and intense emotional life of children from ages 1 to 3. Drawing on her decades of research and clinical practice, the author addresses a multitude of commonly asked questions, including "Why is 'no' so often a toddler's favorite response?"Emotions Books
