“[Looking for ways to solve the toddler tantrum problem…] We checked out a library copy of Harvey Karp’s Happiest Toddler on the Block, but I couldn’t implement toddlerese or physically mirroring toddler tantrum behavior. I was embarrassed just watching the adults on the video. Such behaviors threatened my remaining vestiges of adulthood. It also seemed counterintuitive: don’t we want our kids to eventually join the adult world rather than all of us moving to Planet Toddler? Needless to say, the video was returned long before its due date.“
