The Happiest Toddler on the Block: How to Eliminate Tantrums and Raise a Patient Respectful and Cooperative One- to Four-Year-Old: Revised Edition

Toddlers can drive you bonkers…so adorable and fun one minute…so stubborn and demanding the next! Yet as unbelievable as it sounds there is a way to turn the daily stream of “nos” and “don’ts” into “yeses” and hugs…if you know how to speak your toddler’s language. In one of the most useful advances in parenting techniques of the past twenty-five years Dr. Karp reveals that toddlers with their immature brains and stormy outbursts should be thought of not as pint-size people but as pintsize…cavemen.

Having noticed that the usual techniques often failed to calm crying toddlers Dr. Karp discovered that the key to effective communication was to speak to them in their own primitive language. When he did suddenly he was able to soothe their outbursts almost every time! This amazing success led him to the realization that children between the ages of one and four go through four stages of “evolutionary” growth each linked to the development of the brain and each echoing a step in prehistoric humankind’s journey to civilization:

• The “Charming Chimp-Child” (12 to 18 months): Wobbles around on two legs grabs everything in reach plays a nonstop game of “monkey see monkey do.”
• The “Knee-High Neanderthal” (18 to 24 months): Strong-willed fun-loving messy with a vocabulary of about thirty words the favorites being “no” and “mine.”
• The “Clever Caveman” (24 to 36 months):
Just beginning to learn how to share make friends take turns and use the potty.
• The “Versatile Villager” (36 to 48 months): Loves to tell stories sing songs and dance while trying hard to behave.

To speak to these children Dr. Karp has developed two extraordinarily effective techniques:
1) The “fast food” rule—restating what your child has said to make sure you got it right;
2) The four-step rule—using gesture repetition simplicity and tone to help your
irate Stone-Ager be happy again.

Once you’ve mastered “toddler-ese” you will be ready to apply behavioral techniques specific to each stage of your child’s development such as teaching patience and calm doing time-outs (and time-ins) praise through “gossiping” and many other strategies. Then all the major challenges of the toddler years—including separation anxiety sibling rivalry toilet training night fears sleep problems picky eating biting and hitting medicine taking — can be handled in a way that will make your toddler feel understood. The result: fewer tantrums less yelling and best of all more happy loving time for you and your child.[]

The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer

In perhaps the most important parenting book of the decade Dr. Harvey Karp reveals an extraordinary treasure sought by parents for centuries --an automatic “off-switch” for their baby’s crying.

No wonder pediatricians across the country are praising him and thousands of Los Angeles parents from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Pierce Brosnan have turned to him to learn the secrets for making babies happy.

Never again will parents have to stand by helpless and frazzled while their poor baby cries and cries. Dr. Karp has found there IS a remedy for colic. “I share with parents techniques known only to the most gifted baby soothers throughout history …and I explain exactly how they work.”

In a innovative and thought-provoking reevaluation of early infancy Dr. Karp blends modern science and ancient wisdom to prove that newborns are not fully ready for the world when they are born. Through his research and experience he has developed four basic principles that are crucial for understanding babies as well as improving their sleep and soothing their senses:

·The Missing Fourth Trimester: as odd as it may sound one of the main reasons babies cry is because they are born three months too soon.

·The Calming Reflex: the automatic reset switch to stop crying of any baby in the first few months of life.

·The 5 “S’s”: the simple steps (swaddling side/stomach position shushing swinging and sucking) that trigger the calming reflex. For centuries parents have tried these methods only to fail because as with a knee reflex the calming reflex only works when it is triggered in precisely the right way. Unlike other books that merely list these techniques Dr. Karp teaches parents exactly how to do them to guide cranky infants to calm and easy babies to serenity in minutes…and help them sleep longer too.

·The Cuddle Cure: the perfect mix the 5 “S’s” that can soothe even the most colicky of infants.

In the book Dr. Karp also explains:

What is colic?

Why do most babies get much more upset in the evening?

How can a parent calm a baby--in mere minutes?

Can babies be spoiled?

When should a parent of a crying baby call the doctor?

How can a parent get their baby to sleep a few hours longer?

Even the most loving moms and dads sometimes feel pushed to the breaking point by their infant’s persistent cries. Coming to the rescue however Dr. Karp places in the hands of parents grandparents and all childcare givers the tools they need to be able to calm their babies almost as easily as…turning off a light.[]

Cool Calm & Contentious

In this hilarious collection of personal essays New York Times bestselling author Merrill Markoe reveals among other things the secret formula for comedy: Start out with a difficult mother develop some classic teenage insecurities add a few relationships with narcissistic men toss in an unruly pack of selfish dogs finish it off with the kind of crystalline perspective that only comes from years of navigating a roiling sea of unpleasant and unappeasable people and—voilà!—you’re funny!

But in Cool Calm & Contentious Markoe also reveals something more: herself. This is by far her most personal affecting collection yet—honest unapologetic often painful but always shot through with the bracing wicked sense of humor that has made her such a beloved and incisive observer of life both human and canine. In Cool Calm & Contentious she goes there: from the anal-retentive father who once spent ten minutes lecturing Markoe’s forty-year-old Ph.D.-wielding brother on how to fold a napkin to the eternally aggrieved mother who took pleasure in being unpleasant to waiters and spent most of her life Markoe says in “varying degrees of pissed off”; from the way she surrendered her virginity as a freshman in college (to her it was “something to be gotten rid of quickly then never discussed again like body odor”) to why later in life she ultimately came to find dogs so much more appealing than humans Markoe holds nothing back. It’s all here in all its messy poignant glory and told the way only Merril Markoe knows how—with honesty wit and bite.

Cool Calm & Contentious offers something for everyone—fans of humorous essays fans of memoir fans of great writing and finely drawn characters fans of dogs fans of talking dogs and fans of reading about mothers who are so difficult and demanding they actually make you feel good about your own life. But most of all this book is for the many fans of Merrill Markoe who will finally get a chance to learn what makes her tick—and what makes her so funny and wise.[]
