Parenting guide, which one for toddlers?

I would like to get a guide, my DS1 is 18m and I need a bit of a guide really.
Discipline etc. 'No thank you' isn't really working at the moment.

What's 'raising boys' like?

I heard a book was something about 'toddlerdom' or something similar, might be quite good.

Ds1 is erm what I think people call 'practicing being two'.
The tantrums and frustration is all a bit much for him at the moment.
I tend to leave to tantrum in a safe space and tell him to come back once he is done. I say with him but ignore the tantrum.
That seems to work quite well, sometimes!
He is just a bit more go-go-go than I am personality wise.

Any advice is appreciated :)

I found a lot of Christopher Green's Toddler Taming to be very helpful - but I don't agree with all his methods. However, it's a useful book to have and very humorous too.

Positive Discipline 0-3 is also very helpful - it's about non-punitive approaches to discipline, "kind, but firm". Another one to consider.
