If you're looking for a book to tell you what to do when your child throws tantrums, flings food, fights everything you try to do with/to/for him, you might need to find another source for those answers. But if you're interested in gaining a better understanding of where your two-year old is coming from, and why he/she acts the way they do, then I think this is a great book. I think it does a great job in explaining what it's like to be a toddler and explaining why they act in certain ways at certain times. If we, as parents, have a better understanding of them, that alone should help us in taming those behaviours that drive us nuts.
