Toddler Tactics

Pinky McKay

2008

This book helps parents navigate the unpredictable world of toddlerhood with empathy and clarity. It covers tantrums, sleep, eating, toilet learning, and independence, offering practical strategies for guiding children respectfully through this intense developmental stage

Why It’s Included

It supports a relationship-based approach to discipline that aligns with our values. The tone is reassuring and realistic, validating the challenges of toddlerhood without resorting to harsh methods.

Who It’s For

Parents and carers of children aged 1 to 3 years, especially those seeking respectful discipline and realistic expectations for toddler development.

Pinky McKay takes a welcome detour from the endless Us versus Them approach of behaviourist authors wanting to tame toddlers with punitive training methods. Instead, McKay reminds us of the brain development during the toddler years and the huge learning curve our walking babies travel as they learn through experience.
This book continues to be my first recommendation for parents around their infant’s first birthday.
