I did a quick search on Google putting part of your question in the search box. I think you may want to take a look at this book. It's Called - ';The Triumphant Child.'; This is a synopsis of the book pulled from their website:





';This book is a fresh new approach to parenting based on traditional principles. It is a must-have for all moms, dads and grandparents as they go about their role of raising their young children.





Dr. Olson Huff MD believes that parents want the very best for their children and seek in every way possible the guidance and support necessary to achieve it.





This is why Dr. Huff and his daughter-in-law, Nicole Rawson-Huff have compiled and edited these useful and accurate facts and gems of information for raising two, three and four year olds. These gems are further supported by parent stories and practical parenting tips throughout the book.





Child development specialist, Nicole Rawson-Huff, explains that 'a triumphant child is resilient, confident, self aware, knows their boundaries and shows concern for others'.';





Here is their website:

I just finished the book Freakonomics and there was a parenting section in the book. Basically, it said that all of the advice out there was confusing and not necessarily correct.





It's been a while since I've been around toddlers. Those are tough ages for sure. My mom used to hit us lightly with a wooden spoon if we were acting up. She would also use time outs. She would raise her voice. I have 2 younger brothers. My youngest brother gave my mom the most trouble. He's ADHD. Considering the problems we've had - we are all doing ok. My youngest brother has had the most problems but he's really turned himself around. My other brother is ok but he is dyslexic and hard of hearing. For work - he has a hard time finding a permanent job. He looks really young too.





Have you visited amazon.com? How about your local book store?





I went to a local book store and found one of the employees to be really helpful. That's not always the case, of course but it was great.





Do you know any other parents? I would try different things. You know your child - what he or she responds to and what he or she doesn't.





In that book - Freakonomics - the author said that those books weren't that helpful - parents didn't do better b/c of them.





You could visit the library and see what they have. Check some out. It might be what you need for ideas.





Toys - etc. - if we were acting up with them - she just took them away.





Distract - take child away - separate -





IQ - family education - attentiveness (not obsessiveness) are the 3 main things that affect children's growth and development according to the authors behind Freakonomics based on the data they examined.





I don't know how good the book is - what other experts think about it but I really enjoyed it. It did challenge my thinking on some topics we hear about. There is a bibliography of sources which always makes me feel better about a book's truth.





I've worked with some child care professionals - teachers - I don't think they have all of the answers - even with all of their experience. I think every kid is different.
