Very thorough and helpful advice, including creative ideas I had never thought of before! Thank you!
Vanessa Welch –
This is one of the best parenting books I have ever read. Since using Andrea’s suggestions, I can’t believe the positive difference in my kids… and me, too! Thank you!

This is a must read! Andrea’s guidance and parenting information is real. She’s right there in the trenches with us. Her tips and advice are relatable, and attainable for most parenting styles. I have referred it to many of my clients and used her approaches with my own children. From handling meltdowns, managing picky eaters, and dealing with bedtime battles “Taming Tantrums” will give you the information you need to become your own child’s expert. It is THE parenting e-book to read.

I was fortunate enough to read a section of Andrea’s book in it’s early stages, and distinctly remember hoping it would help with my son’s behaviours. Not only did I employ her tips and tactics to help my son calm down, I’ve used almost every one to help ME tame my own tantrums. By identifying my own stressors, negative core beliefs and recognizing when my personal bucket needs to be filled, I can be a better parent to my son when he’s struggling.
If you read nothing else, read this. Seriously.

After the first read I have now gone back and printed out the pages that help me maintain my calm and cool the MOST. I refer to them each time I feel my parenting is challenged and it is a great resource to keep me on track this summer (and it is making things a LOT better for my kids!)

It sounds like a lot of work to identify some of these core problems and empty buckets, but these tips really work! My son is 6 and still sometimes acts out instead of conveying that he misses us or wants attention. It really helps open the dialogue in a positive way.

There are so many wonderful take-aways from Andrea’s book it isn’t true! You’d think that as I’ve been through toddler-dom with my first daughter I’d have all the answers this time around, but my wonderful second daughter tests me daily, and I find Andrea’s approach very relevant to the parenting situations I find myself in! If I had to pick one thing, it would be the importance of empathy; instilling this firmly in my children, and remembering it myself when tempers begin to escalate. Wishing Andrea lots of success with this book and hope others give it a read – you’d be a fool not to!

What a great book – so much practical and smart advice all rolled into one easy-to-read book. I loved reading about how our life experiences shape our core beliefs about ourselves. Highly recommend.

As a developmental psychologist, I want to compliment Andrea’s approach to taming tantrums in toddlers. This is a must-read for all parents who want to make REAL AND POSITIVE CHANGE in the health and well-being of their families and children. Andrea’s warm and inviting words reflect deep, evidence-based principles and practices of child development — wrapped in a practical book that parents understand. Highly recommended!

As a therapist and Mom I can highly recommend Andrea’s informative book. Andrea offers smart, practical and accessible advice for parents of toddlers. She is a compassionate teacher and as a fellow parent, shows that she truly gets the struggles, has been there, and wants to help. She offers tips and challenges through her thoughtful work that encourages you to think that either you are on the right path or helps you decide to make tangible changes that can start today. Thank you for all that you do for the parenting community Andrea!

Being that I’m currently in the “trenches” of parenthood with a four-year-old and two-year-old (and one arriving in a month!) this book has been a saving grace for me. I trusted my intuition for the first couple of years of parenting, but found once my oldest turned two, I needed help–I couldn’t rely on my gut anymore (at least I needed some guidance). When my son started “talking back” and throwing tantrums, I felt frustrated, helpless and like a bad Mom. I was fortunate to become connected with Andrea around the same time and she has since become my go-to source for parenting help. The best part about this book is that all of Andreas amazing tips, strategies and advice is in one place now–I love that I can refer to it when I’m struggling.
I love Andrea’s empathetic approach to parenting (the Connect Four approach makes so much sense to me!) and even more, I love that Andrea relates to her readers in a non-judgmental way, sharing her own personal and parenting struggles letting us know that she too is human.
I highly recommend this book to any parent to young kids. It’s an invaluable resource!! Thanks Andrea!

Andrea Nair offers practical advice for parents of toddlers. She has a deep understanding of just how hard it can be to parent young children, and she helps parents work through their own emotions while learning how to connect with and assist their children. A great resource for parents of toddlers!

As a family doctor and a mom of two, I found “Taming Tantrums” to be a smart, well-written book that was filled with excellent parenting advice.
Parenting is an incredibly challenging task and most of us feel hopelessly inadequate, especially in the early years. In this book, Andrea Nair not only acknowledges that parents are human—which is validating and helpful in its own right—but she unpacks this fact even further to help parents identify the core beliefs that are blocking their own deep-seated coping tools.
Andrea Nair brings readers along in a logical, progressive manner through the steps needed to cope with the challenging toddler years and become a calmer and better parent…and in turn raise happy, healthy kids.
I recommend this book to anyone with young children.

I downloaded the app and it was refreshing to see the clearly organized sections and then the advice written in lay language so any parent can understand and apply the advice.
My favourite sections to seek advice from are the Getting Out the Door, Whining and Bedtime sections.
Nice work.
