Acting out/tantrums are definitely minimized too. We have active twin boys and we can't stress how helpful the techniques were in The Happiest Toddler on the Block DVD; Dr. Karp has done it again. I can't say that I am perfect all the time, but I can say that when we do use the techniques and express to the boys that we truly and SINCERELY understand their feelings, they listen. Not only that, but they treat us and others with respect.

I had seen Dr. With "The Happiest Toddler on the Block", Dr. The parents who participated in both videos appeared to have learned the techniques and found them very helpful. Harper is also very good in giving ideas to deal with toddlers who are having problems communicating their feelings and desires and do so throwing tantrums. All his suggestions and techniques I found to be very effective.

I haven't yet tried the techniques but I sent a copy to my son who has a two year old daughter. Harper's "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and found it extremely helpful in dealing with newborns to help them calm down when crying and to sleep better. Dr. Harper offers very helpful techniques to understand the little ones and help them be happier by having the adults around them respond in manners that are more appropriate to their developmental level. I'm waiting to hear from him to see what he thinks.

Her baby is one yr. old and already showing signs of temper tantrums. It's just plain common sense. I purchased this for my daughter. Thanks for offering this. We watched it together and I was amazed that no one thought of this method before. It's basically a baby version of the Faber/Mazlish "Talk/Listen" book that was our bible.

My husband and I got the book first and decided to get the dvd to make sure we were doing the techniques right. UPDATE: We have found that the underlying methods in this do work with our toddler, but we had to modify how we used it. Karp indicates in his book - even when she is in a rage of tantrum, maybe that's why this doesn't work for her - who knows. I really wish they would - the only thing we can get to work so far with our 2 1/4 year old is to ignore the tantrum and let her calm down before trying to communicate any further with her. Definitely try different approaches with the ideas from this method in mind if you don't find it working.

I guess it must work for some people. Also, our daughter communicates with us much above the level that Dr. Karp calls a "spirited" toddler and these methods just plain didn't work. All I can say is, the toddlerese just fuels our little one's fire and makes the tantrums even worse than they were to start with. We have what Dr.

Karp it has made some difference in our toddler's tantrums and behavior. Best wishes to all those that do try this though. For instance, our toddler doesn't appreciate the toddlerese, but the fast food method definitely works and with a little further guidance from Dr.

But it is nice that they get right to the point. But at least he can get the information without picking up a book (that will be the day). Not as good as the book b/c it doesn't explain the philosophy behind the method. My husband who did not read the book, thought the tactic was silly and got angry that the dr. wants you to talk to your kids like cavemen. He understood after I explained that you don't talk to them like that all the time, just when they are upset.
