Book suggestion for toddler discipline

[SidSparrow]

DD is 19 months and I think on the turn of becoming a handful. I don't think there's anything in her behaviour that's out of the ordinary, but I do feel that discipline is the one area where I am pretty clueless, so I'm looking for some book suggestions that offers helpful advice. I have read The Book You Wish Your Parents had Read... Which is great, but I'm looking for something a bit more specific to her age group.

Thanks in advance.

You are right to think about discipline early, many parents don't think they have a problem until a child is 3 or 4YO. It is actually quite simple. Don't be negative, if it is possible to say yes then do so. If it really is a problem or dangerous you must say no and stick to it. Never lie, if you say your going to do something "do it" even if it's we're going to the park, or sit on the naughty step. Never take back a promise because of naughty behaviour, use another disciplinary method. Always give plenty of notice of intention to leave the house, or go to bed. Give DD lots of love when she's good, act a bit cross when she is naughty. Enjoy her company for the rest of your life.

I'm a fan of Christopher Green's Toddler Taming. Ignore what he says about smacking, which is out of date; but everything else is spot on!

A lot of it is just about having realistic expectations, of your toddler and of yourself.

Another one for Christopher green!!

Thank you! Picked up thr Christopher Green book at the library yesterday so will give that a read. And thank you Notodontidae that is some sound advice, it is noted.
