Synopsis

In this antidote to heavy-handed advice books written by parenting "experts" who have gotten too big for size 2T britches, The Honest Toddler provides an indispensable manual to parenting that places the toddler's happiness front and center. Outrageously confident and sweetly indignant, The Honest Toddler tackles everything from preferred toddler foods (unbroken crackers and undiluted juice), unconditional love (accept them as they are—pants or no pants), sleep and potty training methods (none), play date etiquette (mi casa es not su casa) and the proper response to random aggression at the playground (embrace it. Park justice is messy but swift). The result is a parenting book like no other, one that will leave moms and dads laughing, and maybe crying, as they recognize their own child in the ongoing shenanigans of one bravely honest toddler.

I'll start by saying I don't have a toddler, I never owned one, nor am I planning to birth one in the near future(maybe in the far future, who knows?). So why am I reading a parenting book? The simple answer is my sister gave it to me. She has children. Sometimes I borrow them. And even as an aunt w......more

Goodreads review by Christina on May 09, 2013

The Honest Toddler is quite easily the best blog/Facebook page for people with kids, people who may have kids, or people who were once kids. It will resonate the loudest with people who are currently raising toddlers to be law abiding, pant wearing, potty trained members of society. Both my brother a......more

I follow the Honest Toddler on twitter and think it is a very funny account. The voice of the Honest Toddler is how how visualise the thoughts of a lot of toddlers I know - ie, focused on toddler world domination! Here's the thing, though - while Honest Toddler works really well in Twitter and blog......more
