Concerned that your two-year-old isn’t developing on schedule? You clearly need to spend some time with Tracy Hogg. Nicknamed the “baby whisperer” by grateful parents because of her extraordinary gift for understanding and connecting with children, Tracy became internationally famous after the smashing success of her New YorkTimes bestseller Secrets of the Baby Whisperer. Now Tracy is back with the same winning blend of common sense, uncanny intuition, and results-getting guidance in her new book, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers. Yes, the toddler years have their stresses and challenges for both parents and children–but with Tracy at your side, you’ll find that this can also be the most fascinating and rewarding stretch of parenthood.
As in her hugely popular first book, Tracy brings her vast experience to bear on the issues and dilemmas with which all parents grapple during toddlerhood. Starting with the simple but essential premise that there is no such thing as a “typical” child, Tracy guides you through her unique programs, including:
• H.E.L.P. (Hold back, Explain, Limit, Praise): the mantra that will remind you of the four elements that are critical to fostering your child’s growth and independence.
• Using T.L.C. (Talk, Listen, Clarify) to communicate with your toddler, to figure out what she is really thinking, and to best help her express herself.
• R&R: the Routines and Rituals that give structure and predictability to daily life and a sense of continuity to holidays and special occasions.
• Rehearsals for Change: ways of preparing your toddler for new experiences by encouraging her to practice her skills in the safe, controlled setting of your family.
• Conscious Discipline: a way of teaching your toddler how to behave and manage his emotions, while being mindful of the lessons you teach with your own behavior.
Tracy knows that your child is special–a one-of-a-kind individual with her own gifts and needs–and she has dedicated this marvelous new book to helping you appreciate and respect your child’s uniqueness. Whether it’s making new friends, mastering potty training, or eating at the family dinner table, your child will do it in her own way and at his own pace. With Tracy as your guide, you can share in the achievements of toddlerhood every step of the way.
Practical, reassuring, and written with wit and energy and boundless enthusiasm for real children and their everyday behavior, this book will be your constant companion during the magical, challenging toddler years.

Tracey Hogg shares her secrets for maintaining order in a house where a toddler resides in Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers. Those familiar with Ms. Hogg's first book, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, know of her affinity for acronyms. The acronym for this book is HELP. She encourages parents to learn how to become HELPing parents, rather than "authoritative" or "enabling parents." She uses examples from real-life cases of how HELPing , authoritative, and enabling parents handle various situations with toddlers. The goal is for readers to guage where they are on the continuum and correct behaviors that aren't HELPful.
The most useful section of the book, for me, was the chapter on R&R (Rest and Rituals). Ms. Hogg breaks down each event in the day (ie: mealtimes, nap time, bath time, bedtime, etc.) and explains what she says and what she does to prepare a toddler for each of these. If a toddler is given consistancy in his or her daily roultine, then Ms. Hogg maintains, a lot of the battles commonly associated with toddlerhood will be thwarted.
Other useful sections include how to get a toddler to sleep through the night, how to get a toddler to be less clingy, and how to prepare a toddler for the arrival of a new baby.
Although I found this book to be more useful than her first, I still found some of Ms. Hogg's points debatable. She still categorizes toddlers into five basic personality categories as she did in Secrets of the Baby Whisperer. I was still unable to categorize my two children into these categories. When I thought that I finally figured out the category of my child, I would read later in the book about how that child would typically handle a situation, and it didn't at all apply to my child.
