According to Mencap, there are approximately 351,000 children in the UK with a learning disability. In the US, 17 percent of children have delays in physical, learning, language, or behavior development. It doesn’t stop there. Worldwide, there are around 18.5 million people with speech, voice, or language disorders! If you yourself don’t have or never have had a speech and language delay or disorder, it’s nearly impossible to understand what your little one is going through.

We can not raise a happy child if we are constantly screaming threats at them. No parent sets out to hurt their child, but this type of parenting does just that. To raise a happy child that wants to behave, you need to retrain yourself first. You need to change the way you think and react to their behavior. You need to understand your triggers and heal yourself. Only then you can begin to heal your relationship with your children.

The stories we read--and the conversations we have about them--help shape family traditions, create lifelong memories, and become part of our legacy. Reading aloud not only has the power to change a family—it has the power to change the world. But we all know that connecting deeply with our families can be difficult in our busy, technology-driven society. Reading aloud is one of the best ways to be fully present with our children, even after they can read themselves, but it isn't always easy to do.

Early and social interaction skills are essential for every child to get the best start in life. Skills like language, eye contact, and self-regulation are just some of the things your child needs in order to excel - personally and academically! Since the pandemic, both parents and teachers are becoming more concerned about children’s abilities to interact. On top of that, there are delays in referrals to specialists. As early interaction is so important, you are probably thinking that you don’t have the qualifications to make a difference. This is not true!

Why do some children thrive and others struggle? The answers may surprise you. New research indicates that the seeds for adult success are actually planted in the toddler years. Dr. Tovah Klein's research and firsthand work with thousands of toddlers explains why the toddler brain is best suited to laying the foundation for success. Dr. Klein reveals the new science behind drivers such as resilience, self-reliance, self-regulation, and empathy that are more critical to success than simple intelligence.

Very disappointed...
It took 5 chapters to actually start any real information. Which wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t already under an hour. The narration is boring & monotone & I don’t feel like I really walked away with anything useful that I didn’t already know.

Great book to start the parenting journey
This book was a great summary of what it means to be a positive parent and some useful information of how exactly to do that. Fun and lighthearted is key. I would further add that it's sometimes our behaviors as parents that can have the biggest impact and the only thing we can really change is ourselves.

Not Great! Not Bad!
I purchased this book over a year ago and am not certain how much I paid for this book, so keep that in mind during this review.
While listening to this book, I did type up one page of notes and did get some information (not new information; more of reminders). I could see myself referencing back to this book every now and again as a reminder, since it is so short. While the book is a very brief, it is also to the point and does offer suggestions.
I am not certain that this is the best book on parenting, but it gives a few useful tips.
The book gives general ideas on the importance of structure and play with your child, not to be over bearing during play time or any other time so long as the child is not in danger. Allow for messes and just simply enjoy being silly. Suggestions for outdoor play time and playful art. The book also expresses importance of allowing your child to be bored.
Communication is a key factor with the children, to include listening to the child; ensuring the child knows he/she is important. Also handling sibling rivalry with open communication and enabling each child to speak and be heard, but not tolerating violence.
Lastly, parents should allow for quite time. The book also offers great ideas on unwinding.
Good book, to the point and not lacking suggestions; however, not great because it is so short.

Couldn't finish this book, narrating is awful, content is dated and certainly nothing eye opening. If I could return this audiobook I would.
