In Part One, I discussed why it helps to think of a young child’s mind as “uncivilized” and why toddlers are such a challenge for today’s parents. Now, in Part Two, I want to teach you two of the most important parenting skills you’ll ever learn.

---

♦ Chapter 3 will give you an extraordinarily simple way to communicate respectfully with anyone (especially someone who’s upset): the Fast-Food Rule.

♦ Chapter 4 will tell you how to translate your caring, respectful words into your tot’s “native tongue,” a very simple language I call Toddler-ese.

Within days, these two skills will bring about a huge jump in your tot’s cooperation and a huge drop in tantrums. Best of all, by using the Fast-Food Rule and Toddler-ese every day you will boost your child’s health and happiness and set him on the path of kindness and confidence for the rest of his life.
