Beyond child development theory and experts, beyond the "shoulds" and the "don'ts" that guilt-ridden parents constantly hear echoing in their ears, there's Vicki Iovine, America's favorite "girlfriend" and mother-in-the-trenches. In The Girlfriends' Guide to Toddlers, Iovine's third addition to her parenting panoply (The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy and The Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood) Iovine focuses, for the first time, more on the child than on the mother. (Toddlers always get all the attention, don't they?) Iovine is wise, and not just because she's read all the current parenting literature (she has) or heard it from her famous mythical "girlfriends." Iovine knows what she's talking about because she has four young children and she's been through it all. In her ongoing vision of parenting, humor and a network of friends play an important role, bribery has its place, discipline is sensible and loving, and advice is grounded in the practical rather than the theoretical. From "Eating (or Not)" to "Discipline" to "The Comfort Zone" (Binkies, Bankies, Loveys and Thumbs) to Potty Training ("What's the Big Rush?") to "Sleepy Time" to "Fashion" (yes, it's an issue for toddlers), Iovine continues her mission to inform the contemporary parent, to tell the truth, to boldly go where many child development experts have gone before, and to keep her readers laughing while she does it. --Ericka Lutz
Book Description
With a combined total of over 300,000 Girlfriends' Guides in print, Vicki Iovine offers the kind of tongue-in-cheek humor and straight-from-the-hip advice that has made her one of today's most popular authorities on child rearing. Now she takes the next step in the Girlfriends series by helping mothers deal with that mysterious, baffling, often adorable and frequently alarming being their baby has become--a toddler.

Don't take this book seriously, but GET a GOOD laugh! June 15, 2008
This book made me feel more normal...it is very funny! :) Phew, I am not the only one!
 A good laugh on life with toddlers. May 8, 2008
Just like the 1st book, gives you a good idea of what to expect with a good twist of humour. Cant go wrong.
For the REAL DOWN to earth moms April 21, 2008
It is so refreshing to read a real down to earth view of kid's. We all have flaws and this hits on them in a humorous way, while helping you cope. Vicki Iovine did it again, thanks.
An easy read March 29, 2008
This book is very easy to read. I don't always agree 100% with the author but the information in the book is presented with an engaging and humorous tone and lots of common sense. This is not a technical book though (for one like that I'd suggest Toddler 411) but is good to have along side a more strictly informational book. Helps keep things in perspective.
Entertaining and helpful March 5, 2008
I thought this book, along with the girlfriends guide to pregnancy and the first year was a refreshing escape from the typical child rearing/advice books in that it expressed many of the not-so-popular thoughts and feelings that real Moms have, but can't always say. A real imperfect Mom being real about her imperfections!
