Terrific Toddlers

(or tantrum – free two’s – almost!)

ISBN 1 – 920711 – 00 - 7

Paperback, 101 pages.


The refreshing message of Terrific Toddlers is that as a parent, you can make a difference in your toddler’s behaviour. In this straightforward and practical book, Mel Hayde is profoundly positive – encouraging mums to proactively guide and train their children.


She firmly believes in the calm consistency of a flexible routine. In this environment, mothers more frequently feel calm and in control, and toddlers can learn the self-control they require to play happily with others and alone, to share, to be polite and to obey.


Terrific Toddlers will inspire you to make a difference in your home – establishing a degree of order that suits your lifestyle and personality, and giving your children the lifelong gift of learning to control their words and actions. The needs of all family members are met, and the joy of parenting becomes a reality. Be positive and proactive, and enjoy your toddler!

Having known Mel, and worked closely with her and Kris, over the past six years, and having spent time with her precious children, it is with confidence and joy that we recommend this, her first book. We believe it will be a blessing to every mum and dad who read it and determine in their hearts to practice the principles espoused.
