Any recommendations?

Toddler is 26 months. So far we've been relatively "gentle" in style but lately I feel like I'm slipping a bit.. occasionally shouting/punishing but much more regularly just going through the day with an exasperated tone of voice which can't be healthy for the child.

It's not just discipline though, there are lots of areas where I wonder if we're doing it "right".

TIA

Good Inside by Dr Becky Kennedy. She is amazing. She has a podcast too if you want to hear her approach before buying. She's a very respectful parent, it's truly inspiring.

How to talk to little kids book is fab. Bit waffley but I found it useful.
Good inside on insta is good as well.

No bad kids by Janet Lansbury. Brilliant.

Thanks! I have No Bad Kids and How to Talk already.. I definitely agree with the approach but find it hard to actually implement - i.e to get the balance right when saying 'I won't let you X" - I'm either too lax, or I end up feeling like I "should" be telling my child off 😵‍💫(probably reading too much MN!)

I'll have another read and look at Becky Kennedy

Toddler taming is funny but very practical

Thanks @outtheshowernow

Those recommending Becky Kennedy, I just had a look at her Instagram: does anyone actually not say "wow that's amazing well done!" When their toddler has done a drawing (or whatever). I know alllll the books tell you not to but surely it's impossible??
