With raising my first child, I was in the frame of mind as to why would I need a parenting book. My first child, was easy, good natured, very helping and Mommies’ Angel Then I had my son, let’s say I cried because it was so hard for me. Everything was a struggle and he would quickly melt down when he didn’t have his way. My husband would indulge him, giving him whatever he wanted to make the tantrums stop, which only made the situation even more difficult. It formed a horrible habit for my son and the household was no longer peaceful we were at our wits end. After reading the book with my husband we noticed things we needed to change in the way we were handling things. Our house is now much more peaceful and although he still has an occasional melt down, we are better equipped to handle them. I will again borrow it from my local library to remind myself of the things I learned.
