Publisher's summary

A modern classic on the gentle art of discipline for toddlers, by the internationally renowned childcare expert, podcaster, and author of Elevating Child Care

No Bad Kids provides practical ways to respond to the challenges of toddlerhood while nurturing a respectful relationship with your child.”—Tina Payne Bryson, PhD, co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline

Janet Lansbury is unique among parenting experts. As a RIE teacher and student of pioneering child specialist Magda Gerber, her advice is not based solely on formal studies and the research of others, but also on her more than twenty years of hands-on experience guiding hundreds of parents and their toddlers. A collection of her most popular articles about toddler behavior, No Bad Kids presents her signature approach to discipline, which she sees as a parent’s act of compassion and love for a child. Full of wisdom and encouragement, it covers common toddler concerns such as:

• Why toddlers need clear boundaries—and how to set them without yelling.

• What's going on when they bite, hit, kick, tantrum, whine, and talk back.

• Advice for parenting a strong-willed child.

• How to be a gentle leader, and Lansbury’s secret for staying calm.

For parents who are anticipating or experiencing those critical years when toddlers are developmentally obliged to test the limits of our patience and love, No Bad Kids is a practical, indispensable resource for putting respectful discipline into action.

Critic reviews

“An effective, respectful approach to discipline requires a new lens. No Bad Kids offers that lens, providing practical ways to respond to the challenges of toddlerhood while nurturing a respectful relationship with your child. This book empowers parents to calmly address behaviors while honoring kids’ feelings and experiences, thus giving them discipline experiences that help their developing brains thrive.”—Tina Payne Bryson, PhD, co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline

“Powerful, inspirational, and supportive . . . Janet Lansbury has expanded and built upon what Magda Gerber originally taught and modeled, while remaining true to the original philosophy. This is an indispensable guide.”—Lisa Sunbury, RegardingBaby

“Whenever I have moments of doubt or confusion—surrounding tantrums, moving, new schools, etc.—I often turn to Janet Lansbury’s website. I’ve mentioned it a few times because her thoughtful advice always rings true. She clearly respects children and reminds you that they’re whole people in need of gentle love and compassion—even when they’re driving you bats. Her books about parenting and discipline reflect this wonderful approach.”—Joanna Goddard, Cup of Jo
