I have enjoyed my time off since the completion of the new book. Taming the Terrible Twos: A Parents' Survival Guide was an adventure which revealed how much two-year-olds mirror, when it does not completely foretell the behavior of, teenagers.

T3, the affectionate name of the book, also took on the task of explaining some of the behaviors of older children and some colleagues. It offers tips and tricks for nutrition for picky eaters, enhancing speech, the benefits of schedules and routines, teaching responsibility, teaching second languages, the ever present need for discipline and the building of character.

The guest articles from Barbara Whitlock and editor John McDevitt gave the book interesting counterpoints. It was fun to find the wisdom of other parents who noticed the parallel between twos and teens.

The final chapter was named Parents' Successful Survival. Along with Barbara (mother of five), John (father of two and grandfather), Tina Hartley (mother of three and grandmother) and Melanie Denyer (mother of one) revealed four totally different images of how the terrible twos affect the lives of parents, siblings, grandparents and children.
