Happiest Toddler on the Block

We only watched the DVD via Netflix b/c HBOTB worked so well for us. This was about 2 months ago. While we were watching, I thought it was so so stupid, and I'd feel like a fool doing the techniques, and said there is no way we're doing this. DH, on the other hand, doesn't mind making a fool of himself, so he convinced me to try the techniques for just a day or two.

As it turns out, we saw a HUGE, HUGE improvement in their behavior from that weekend on. It was like when we did the techniques that the kids realized that we do understand them and are on their side. Since then, they have way fewer tantrums and crying fits and play nicer, and we maybe have to do the techniques once every week or two.

This could all be coincidence, but it was worth the shot to us.

I liked it, but also got the DVD netflix. If you can get past the goofiness and cheesiness, the main ideas actually work. I was laughing at him comparing toddlers to cavemen.

it is so cheesy, but I trust the dude as HBOTB is baby crack
