Summary: The happiest Toddler on the Block DVD
Comment: I am impressed with this DVD. I use it for the Early Childhood Education classes I teach at the Adult Level. I recommend it for anyone working with Toddlers and who is willing to try new techniques to work on communicating with the child and eliminating or reducing temper tantrums. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. A great purchase for parents, as well.

Summary: Respect Begets Kindness & Respect
Comment: We have active twin boys and we can't stress how helpful the techniques were in The Happiest Toddler on the Block DVD; Dr. Karp has done it again! I can't say that I am perfect all the time, but I can say that when we do use the techniques and express to the boys that we truly and SINCERELY understand their feelings, they listen. Not only that, but they treat us and others with respect. Acting out/tantrums are definitely minimized too.

Summary: A new way to deal with toddlers
Comment: I had seen Dr. Harper's "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and found it extremely helpful in dealing with newborns to help them calm down when crying and to sleep better. All his suggestions and techniques I found to be very effective. With "The Happiest Toddler on the Block", Dr. Harper is also very good in giving ideas to deal with toddlers who are having problems communicating their feelings and desires and do so throwing tantrums. Dr. Harper offers very helpful techniques to understand the little ones and help them be happier by having the adults around them respond in manners that are more appropriate to their developmental level. I haven't yet tried the techniques but I sent a copy to my son who has a two year old daughter. I'm waiting to hear from him to see what he thinks. The parents who participated in both videos appeared to have learned the techniques and found them very helpful.

Summary: Common Sense
Comment: I purchased this for my daughter. Her baby is one yr. old and already showing signs of temper tantrums. We watched it together and I was amazed that no one thought of this method before. It's just plain common sense. It's basically a baby version of the Faber/Mazlish "Talk/Listen" book that was our bible. Thanks for offering this.

Summary: Guess some people are lucky this works for them - updated!
Comment: My husband and I got the book first and decided to get the dvd to make sure we were doing the techniques right. All I can say is, the toddlerese just fuels our little one's fire and makes the tantrums even worse than they were to start with. We have what Dr. Karp calls a "spirited" toddler and these methods just plain didn't work. I really wish they would - the only thing we can get to work so far with our 2 1/4 year old is to ignore the tantrum and let her calm down before trying to communicate any further with her. Also, our daughter communicates with us much above the level that Dr. Karp indicates in his book - even when she is in a rage of tantrum, maybe that's why this doesn't work for her - who knows. Best wishes to all those that do try this though. I guess it must work for some people!

UPDATE: We have found that the underlying methods in this do work with our toddler, but we had to modify how we used it. For instance, our toddler doesn't appreciate the toddlerese, but the fast food method definitely works and with a little further guidance from Dr. Karp it has made some difference in our toddler's tantrums and behavior. Definitely try different approaches with the ideas from this method in mind if you don't find it working.
