About this listen

Real-world, from-the-trenches toddler parenting advice from the author of the best-selling Oh Crap! Potty Training.

Toddlers - commonly defined as children aged between two and five years old - can be a horribly misunderstood bunch. What most parents view as bad behavior is in fact just curious behavior. Toddlerdom is the age of individuation, seeking control, and above all, learning how the world works. But this misunderstanding between parents and child can lead to power struggles, tantrums, and even diminished growth and creativity.

The recent push of early intellectualism coupled with a desire to “make childhood magical” has created a strange paradox - we have three-year-olds with math and Mandarin tutors who don’t know how to dress themselves and are sitting in their own poop. We are pushing the toddler mind beyond its limit but simultaneously keeping them far below their own natural capabilities.

In the frank, funny, and totally authentic Oh Crap! I Have a Toddler, social worker Jamie Glowacki helps parents work through what she considers the five essential components of raising toddlers:

  • Engaging the toddler mind
  • Working with the toddler body
  • Understanding and dealing with the toddler behavior
  • Creating a good toddler environment
  • You, the parent

Oh Crap! I Have a Toddler is about doing more with less - and bringing real childhood back from the brink of overscheduled, overstimulated helicopter parenting. With her signature down-and-dirty friend-to-friend advice, Jamie is here to help you experience the joy of parenting again and giving your child - and yourself - the freedom to let them grow at their own pace and become who they are.

One of my favorite toddler books

I have read a few and found this to be the most reasonable and practical.

Required Reading

Don’t wait until they turn two or three. Read this as soon as you can, and then revisit. And read other books too… there is no one and only golden source, but this should certainly be part of your new parent reading list.

Stop What You’re Doing & Read This Now. Twice.

Seriously, stop what you’re doing and read this book now annnnnnd then read it again, even if it’s a month later. So very worth the time and the money to invest the best way into your child(ren) and in yourself in the long run.

I am a walking, talking advertisement for this author for both this book, Oh Crap! I Have A Toddler AND for Oh Crap! Poor Training 👏because👏the👏methods/research👏work👏

Stop making excuses. Stop holding off. If you need or want or don’t even know you need or want tips on how to raise your human even better, this is the most wonderful book ever. Why wait? Start this book even when your kid is ONE to prep for what is ahead in the upcoming year to years+. Trust me, you will not regret it and the results you’ll see/know/gain, you won’t regret either.

Excellent

It felt like a conversation with that wise aunt who always knows just what to say. If I could meet this author in real life, I would give her a big hug and thank her for putting my stresses at ease.

Struggling with your toddler?

I have our so much of this information into daily practice with my 2 and 3 year olds, and I can already tell a huge difference. Not only has their behavior improved, but our relationship is growing and getting stronger every day!

The best book ever!

This is such a well-written and well-narrated book! I recommend it to everyone I know who has a toddler. These are essential pearls of life advice for toddlers and kids/ parents of all ages. I read it twice and took lots of notes. Much appreciated. The swear words were amusing. Must read!!!

Jamie is part of my village

this woman is amazing! I have seen alot of the same behaviors in my own and daycare kids. Jamie is down to earth, and I love the way she teaches me how to see the world though the eyes of a 3nager. i appreciate her wisdom and experiences. i am grateful she is sharing. the voice on this book is amazing. its like I'm listening to Jamie herself. I just love it so much! I tell all my parents friends send clients to read it as well.
