When you first have children it is the most exciting, scary, fun filled, exhausting time of your life. At first you just worry about how to keep them from crying all the time and trying to get some sleep.
As your kids grow up out of the baby stage into toddlers then the parenting issues can really start to take over your life. In comparison to dealing with a 2 year old throwing a tantrum walking up and down the living room for a couple of hours can seem like a easy time.
The toddler years are amongst the toughest to deal with, your son or daughter is getting to be willful and it can be difficult to know how to deal with some situations. Most of us end up reacting in the way our parents did, or we just become so laid back that we don't ever set any boundaries.
There are now many programs on TV which show totally dysfunctional families that are getting one on one help from a experienced nanny. Luckily enough most of us don't have families that are so out of control. Although there are times when we all feel like the roof is coming down around our ears I am sure.
I did find that the Internet was a wealth of information on parenting, maybe too much information. Finding a writer who seemed to have been through similar situations to me and has a similar outlook on life was vital. if you read a site and want to shout at the screen then it probably isn't the right website for you.
I like to be able to read some real life experiences as well as asking the expert for advice if I don't find what I am looking for. - 29957

About the Author:
Trying to know all the stages of child development can be a huge task for any parent, not least a new parent. I have found great assistance from Ann Pleshette Murphy's website, I especially like that she honestly wants people to ask questions whether they are about types of learning disabilities or something else altogether.
