I’m often asked for my opinions on the latest parenting books and techniques because as I’m only 2.5 years old, I can provide some unique insight.
My Mum was very keen on the “New Contented Baby Book” by Gina Ford and “Baby Whisperer” by Tracy Hogg.
The biggest problem that I have with the Baby Whisperer is that I can't hear a word that she says.
On the other hand, Gina "The Baby Nazi" Ford scares the living daylights out of me. She's the one who told my Mum all about corner time. As far I'm concerned, this makes her public enemy numero uno, who would be sleeping with the fishes if I had my way and also a big enough fish tank.
Her latest book encourages parents to praise their children as opposed to dwelling on the negative aspects of their behaviour. I think my parents must be having trouble identifying any positive aspects of my behaviour because so far, I’ve been praised for:
- Breathing nicely and quietly
- Blinking
- Standing still
- Sleeping
By the end of the first day, Dad was threatening me with corner time if I didn’t stop breathing.
