Do You Have A Parenting Book To Recommend Me?
I have a soon to be 2 year old daughter that is very naughty. Yes I know 2 year olds can be a handful but this seems out of my control right now. My parenting style is not working and would like to read a book that may help me. I have a 10 year old boy that was not difficult at all. I also have a 4 month old son.

I feel for you.
Kids do go through stages in their development.
Sometimes we just need to understand from their point of view as they cannot fully express themselves.
Your daughter is probably just as surprised by her new temper as you are. Don’t over-react. Ignoring is a good strategy to begin with. When she calms down, tell her I don’t understand when you’re crying and screaming. You need to use your words to tell me what you want. Never give in to a tantrum, only to wishes expressed in a more appropriate way. And don’t forget that “NO” is sometimes the best answer! You can’t give her everything she wants.

Go to barnes n noble, they can actually use keywords to pull up books that may relate to your situation. I use to work there, and its amazing how ppl come in and tell us their problem and we are able to find a book specific to their need or concern.
