Instead of being merely the receiver of the parents' psychological and spiritual legacy, children function as ushers of the parents' development. Parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional shallowness. To handle the behavior that results, traditional books on parenting abound with clever techniques for control and quick fixes for dysfunction. In Dr. Shefali Tsabary's conscious approach to parenting, however, children serve as mirrors of their parents' forgotten self.

As the founder of Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE), Magda Gerber has spent decades helping new mothers and fathers give their children the best possible start in life. Her successful parenting approach harnesses the power of this basic fact: Your baby is unique and will grow in confidence if allowed to develop at his or her own pace. The key to successful parenting is learning to observe your child and to trust him or her to be an initiator, an explorer, a self-learner with an individual style of problem solving and mastery.

One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out - in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships - is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as best-selling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn’t take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence.

When facing contentious issues such as screen time, food choices, and bedtime, children often act out or shut down, responding with reactivity instead of receptivity. This is what New York Times best-selling authors Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson call a No Brain response. But our kids can be taught to approach life with openness and curiosity. When kids work from a Yes Brain, they’re more willing to take chances and explore. They’re more curious and imaginative. They’re better at relationships and handling adversity.

Publisher's Summary
Janet Lansbury is unique among parenting experts. As an RIE teacher and student of pioneering child specialist Magda Gerber, her advice is not based solely on formal studies and the research of others, but also on her 20 years of hands-on experience guiding hundreds of parents and their toddlers. No Bad Kids is a collection of Janet's most popular and widely read articles pertaining to common toddler behaviors and how respectful parenting practices can be applied to benefit both parents and children. It covers such common topics as punishment, cooperation, boundaries, testing, tantrums, hitting, and more. No Bad Kids provides a practical, indispensable tool for parents who are anticipating or experiencing those critical years when toddlers are developmentally obliged to test the limits of our patience and love. Armed with knowledge and a clearer sense of the world through our children's eyes, this period of uncertainty can afford a myriad of opportunities to forge unbreakable bonds of trust and respect.
Editorial Review
Parenting is hard enough. Deciphering the right way to parent can be just as difficult. With a slew of parenting tips, techniques, and behavioural studies out there, how do we know what is right? No Bad Kids by Janet Lansbury helps cut through all the jargon and the mass of ideas to bring a relatable, practical approach to parenting toddlers and young kids. She addresses topics such as boundaries, discipline, cooperation and developmental stages in a way that acknowledges the needs and mindset of both the parents and children. Lansbury is open and honest, while staying informative and practical, for parenting techniques you can actually use in your daily life. The Audible audiobook is narrated by Lansbury herself, adding experience and knowledge to her open and friendly voice. She is both direct and encouraging with a moderate pace which should be comfortable for most listeners. She tells stories and presents facts and ideas with an engaging and clear sound much as a teacher would, offering a sense of trust and understanding. This knowledge comes from over 20 years of hands-on experience. Her work pulls together a variety of her most popular articles and parenting guides for lessons that are tried and tested. Lansbury has also trained under child specialist Magda Gerber and is an acclaimed RIE respectful parenting teacher. Her openness and honesty, combined with her years of experience and training, have helped to make No Bad Kids a winning guide to navigating parenthood with trust and respect.

What an excellent book
After unsuccesfully loosing the first 2 years of my son's life with a wrong aproach of prasing rewards and punishments, I started looking into positive parenting more and more. I've listened to Jane Nelson, Positive parenting book, and altough I've used a couple of tips from there that worked, it seems a little bit too indulgent. This book is just the perfect balance between make your child feel respected while disciplinate him. And let me tell you it works wonders. My boy is 3 and a half and I started having problems with him after I gave birth to his sister 7 month ago. He changed into a little "monster" with regular tantrums over anything. After 2 weeks of using the methods in this book, I am proud to say we almost never fight and he listens to instructions 90% of the time. But there is a catch haha...if you are not willing to change yourself and your own behaviour, this book will not help. I realised a lot of things about me and my own childhood by listening to this book. A big thanks to the autor, this is a masterpiece.

Helpful for all ages!
Janet Lansbury has helped our family immensely. If I could recommend just one book to expecting and new parents, it would be this one. It’s approach is so well presented, with plenty of real life examples so that you can easily place yourself in similar situations. It’s such a great resource that I find myself listening to chapters again as I navigate through the waters of parenthood.

Helpful book to get through the toddler years
I am finding the approach of Janet in this book to be quite helpful as I navigate raising twin two-year-olds. I am realizing more and more they are complete little people and should be treated as such. Their understanding and comprehension surprises me sometimes and treating them as capable really makes them much more willing to do what needs to be done. #Audible1

Great for parents of toddlers
I really enjoyed this book. I try to be a peaceful positive parent, and I can't believe I hadn't read this earlier. Along with Peaceful Parents Happy child and How to talk so kids would listen, this book is a great tool for parents who want a respectful and positive relationship with their kids. This is more about toddlers, though, so if your kids are older, maybe pick either book of the two I just referenced. It's an easy short read, structured in a Q&A format that is easy to follow. Totally recommended.

Life Changing.
This book has taught us how we should speak and react to our toddler and it has changed our household completely. Our toddler is happier, we are happier. Still can't believe the change in our toddler just by us acknowledging his feelings and point of view properly. Highly, highly recommend!!

Wonderful parenting tips
This book has worked wonders in a very short time when we put the techniques described within into practice with our 1.5 year old. Highly recommend to all parents

Basically her podcast again
You can save $10 and just listen to her podcast. Its the same info even many chapters are question an answer format.
I was excited hoping the book would go deeper or be better organized but its not. Its just her podcast stung together in chapters.

Useful
I got useful things from this book, primarily regarding the perspective on button pushing and how much children actually want to be told "no".
However, the book neglects to make important distinctions which make for a confusing, seemingly contradictory read at times.
"Treat children like adults because they have dignity, but don't treat children like adults because that isn't fair to the child."
"Don't tell your children 'no' too much because it will be a source if needless conflict, but definitely tell them 'no' often because they need to know you are in charge in order to feel secure"
You have to work hard to figure it out without much help from the author.
Also, it's largely material from her blog and podcast so it feels a little like a cheat, but perhaps I'm being too stingy there 😅

Doesn’t work as an audiobook
I have a toddler so I’m very busy, and I thought it would be easier to listen to this book rather than read it, but the format of the book does not work as an audiobook. It seems to be a lot of lists, and it’s hard for me to keep track of what the author is telling me. I do think the book has good advice, but I think I need a hard copy rather than audio.

Absolutely worth it!
This book is so wonderful for me, as a parent of an 18 month old. Love the principles and I've seen positive results to the application. She doesn't just talk method, she shares specific examples, which I find invaluable. Highly recommended!

Changing Lives
This is the best book on toddler discipline I have read. Janet's instructions are easy to implement. This book changed our family dynamic in just a week!

Wow! I can't believe it works.
I was a bit skeptical in the beginning since I've been given several books with contradicting advice. I'm a first time mom/SHM and my son is now 16 months. I began using the practices in this book a few days ago and noticed a major change in our interactions. I would get frustrated with myself and with him when he would throw, hit and spit - and just about every normal toddler behavior you could think of. I've finished the book and now have a completely different perspective on parenting and i just a few days of work I feel like I understand my son and he understands me. I don't use third person narratives like "Mommy doesn't want you to hit" instead I just say, "I won't let you hit me". I recommend this to all. Thank you, Janet, for really helping me to change my entire perspective on parenting.

Entitled Generation Handbook
What disappointed you about No Bad Kids?
As a mother of an adult child, as well as a toddler, I have to say that there were a lot of useful hints as to how to handle frustrating situations. However, I feel her style fosters an unhealthy view of authority for children when it comes to parents. While children should never fear being hurt by their parents, they should have a sense of what respectful boundaries are. You don't blame yourself for your child hitting someone after you've told him that it's not acceptable behavior and clearly stated a consequence if the action is repeated. Otherwise, I feel, this sends a message to the child that their negative actions are your fault not theirs. This is where the sense of entitlement is fostered. "Nothing is my fault, it is someone else's. Therefore, I don't deserve to be held responsible." It is the bigger messages we are portraying for children that matter in their adulthood, not smaller situational messages that could lead to coping issue later on in life. I'm no expert but my older son is respectful, sensitive, responsible, empathetic, confident, and hardworking. He is many things most adults aspire to be, including myself. He is a product of many factors but never did I once not hold him accountable for his actions, even in toddler hood. Was he spanked? Once. Does he remember it? YES. Is he scarred? NO. He is a well adjusted, non aggressive person. He looks for reasons not to fight or use force even though he studies martial arts and is built like a brick wall. He is not perfect, but he is someone I'm very proud of. I intend to keep my parenting style in hopes that my toddler will be similar to his older brother.
Maybe I'll write a book someday :)
What do you think your next listen will be?
I'll stick to fiction now.
What aspect of Janet Lansbury’s performance would you have changed?
She did well for the material.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Yes
Any additional comments?
I think I said what I needed to.

Good advice, but way too long
Janet Lansbury's approach to parenting toddlers works, and it's actually very simple. So simple, in fact, that it doesn't take a whole book to explain. Large parts of the book are repetitive, and also delivered in the form of numbered lists, which gets to be disorienting.

This book it's a treasure
I have heard several audiobooks about parenting and they are good , but no book has felt quite as logic, clear, accessible and simple as this one. And all the advices I have applied from this book have paid off, I barely ever had to deal with the common complaints like tantrums or résistance by applying these advices. I give it a 100 out of 10.
