I was very disappointed by this book. I kept reading it hoping that it would at one point provide useful information. Unfortunately what it continued to do throughout the book is provide uninformative, silly, and cheek-in-tongue frivolity to issues I would have appreciated some useful information about. It was a total waste of my time, and the worst book out of about 10 books I've read on toddler issue. Time and time again, I put this book down feeling that the author was trying to be cute and clever but providing nothing tangible that the reader could use. It wasted much of my precious time. In addition, it's quite apparent that the author has done little research in the area. Every other book I've read has been very informative such as 1,2, 3...
