Which book....

[mama*pisces]

is the one that most helped you deal with age 3?

I had age 2 down pat, and now I have entered a WHOLE new territory, running low on patience, and with a newborn to boot.

Oh, currently I am flipping back and forth between "How to talk so kids will listen" and "Raising your Spirited Child" - they are good reads but so far no light bulbs have gone on. Just looking for book recs for when I'm done with those.

TIA

Hmm..I've never even heard of that one, but it has some great reviews on Amazon and it looks pretty good. I'll have to see if my library has it. Thanks!

Kids, Parents, Power Struggles by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka.

But age 3 was still pretty tough

eta....I see you mentioned Raising your spirited child. There is some overlap, but I've appreciated owning both.
