This book was one of the most helpful I ever read. I learned new ways to look at disciplining, essential tips on toilet training, but most of all allowed me to view the world from my child's point of view.

With helpful tips on discipline methods, parenting in general and the ups and downs that occur through the toddler years, Dr Greenes advise never sugar coated anything and provided me with entertainment too.

A must read for all parents!

4) How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish

Learning to see the world through your child's eyes and learning how to communicate with them is really needed, especially in the toddler years. This book was easy to read, helpful and made me able to communicate with my children easier. A useful book for all parents that will teach us how to understand and communicate with out kids that you can use right up until their teenage years.

5) The Secret To Raising Happy Children by Steve Biddulph

This book is filled with stories and anecdotes to help parents raise exactly what the title says, happy children. This book will help you through the tough times, give you a laugh when you need it, and remind you of the great things about being a parent.

With sections on things that all parents need to deal with at one time or another, from tantrums to whingeing, this book is practical and useful. I highly recommend any of Steve Biddulph's books for all parents.

A search of your local bookstore or library in the parenting section will show you just how many books are available on all aspects of children and parenting. The five books above I have always found to be the most useful, and are the ones that I keep returning to for information, guidance and reassurance.
