This was a good read for parents of kids between the ages of 2 and 6. It deals with communication, discipline and how to answer those difficult questions that kids have between those ages. I skipped a few chapters on topics that have not come up yet like Divorce and Serious Illness, but I did read the ones on Death, Sex (Where do Babies come from?) and Natural Disasters.

I would recommend this book based off the first to chapters about communication and discipline. The author talks about how not to just deal out punishments, but to instead deal with consequences. An example of how I applied this philosophy with my kid, She was told not to jump on the bed or she would not be able to sing goodnight to her little brother. She didn't listen and so the consequence was no bedtime routine. She wailed and screamed and my favorite... asked me to take all consequences away. We didn't give in and the next couple bedtimes we have had no issues with not listening.

The book also gives some good strategies to discussing those hard to talk about subjects. I"m sure I will be referring to it at a later time for other topics as they come up. ( )

I was amazed that this woman actually makes a living giving advice. Her advice is contradictory and just plain bad. I do not recommend this book. I started to write down all the things I didn't like about this book but there was just too much. ( )

OMG!!! This book had my husband and I cracking up. We are the parents of a six year old girl and the section on Swear words came at the appropiate time. The "WTH" is really popular right now and our daughter makes us catch our breath ever time we hear, "What THE!" We are just waiting for her to put something else behind the "The" so far, so good.

There are a lot of sound techniques and practices that we use on an everyday basis.. some work, some don't. It's the joy of parenting. :D ( )

A solid advice book with good information. Nothing in the book was groundbreaking, but it was full of good common sense advice. The book was well originized and easy to read. ( )

This book is very helpful for people with children aged 2 to 6 years old.

This book talks about communication with your child, such as verbal communication, nonverbal language, listening & modeling.

Don't blow your child off, soon enough she/he won't want to talk to you. Your days are numbered. Welcome the gift of talking.

This book also goes into depth on children that do not listen, Discipline Do's and Dont's. How yelling does not work, and keeping your expectations of your child reasonable & appropriate.

Just Tell Me What to Say even address's burping & farting, manners, dealing with rudeness in public, and even about child masturbation & sex questions. Not many books talk about sensitive subjects such as those.

Your child doesn't understand why goldie the goldfish died...this book can help you find the words. Getting a divorce? Hard to talk about that one, but this book has a whole chapter on it.

Above all, use real words when talking to your children. Not baby word. If someone died, say Grandpa Andy died, and now he is in Heaven. Not Grandpa Andy is in Heave....your child will think that is a place to visit & won't understand. Or will think it is a bad place to go because now Grandpa is gone.

If you have children in the 2-6 year age group, this book may be very helpful for you! I plan to send it to my Daughter-in-law who has 2 toddler's right now & another baby on the way! ( )
