Parenting books - toddlers

[Kes]

Hi looking for advice from you very helpful people again!

I had a few books when DD was a baby but not read anything recently, she's now 16 months and I'd like something with advice on toddlers - any suggestions?

A bit of advice and reassurance on dealing with tantrums, meals times etc. that I can dip into when I need it would be good

Thanks!

I find the "what to expect" series of books have been really helpful. I didn't make it up to the toddler one as I find I can get all the same info on the net and having the book was just extra but if I got one book that would be it.

Toddler taming by Christopher Green. It basically says there's nowt you can do but it does give a great insight into the toddlers mind and explain why certain approaches are counter productive. Definitely worth a read.

See the above two links to my fave toddler books -- I searched long and hard and asked alot of knowledgable folk to arrive at these two books -- fantastico! Non-patronising, gentle and they work with the way you'd like to do it.

Thanks everyone, I'll see if the library has any of those so I can have a look at them before I part with my cash!
