The toddler years: potty training, tantrums and sibling rivalry. Games, toys and crafts. Parties. Potty training (the second time round)…and yet more tantrums!

The $64,000 Dollar Question

BUT how do you do this when logic has left the building and tantrums are the order of the day?

I haven’t got $64k - but I do have some answers!

As a mum of 2, I know how difficult life can be with a child between 1 and 4 years old.

My background is teaching kids with emotional and learning problems, and when my son became a (very boisterous) tot, I realised that a lot of the techniques I’d developed in the classroom really work with young children.

I will help you by providing an unbiased balance of expert opinion and parental common sense. Unlike some experts, I know that the perfect parent just doesn’t exist.

On this Site You Will Find:

• Specific ways to deal with behaviour problems


• Practical advice on potty training and sibling rivalry


• Original and creative ideas for activities and parties


• A good laugh – see the funnies section

Make the most of the opportunities that these years give you to enjoy life with your child.

Look no further for original activities and games to enjoy with your little one. Many cost little or nothing in terms of preparation or money.
