Parents associate the so called terrible twos with tantrums, defiance, getting into everything, and other perfectly good reasons for nervous breakdowns.  There's no question about it - the twos have a reputation for terribleness, and to some extent it's earned.  But the two-year-old is also in the throes of one of the most fascinating and significant transitions in the human life cycle.  Whether this breakthrough stage is the best of times of the worst of times is largely a matter of understanding the nature of the child and having a clear set of parenting goals.

In "Making the 'Terrible' Twos Terrific!", family psychologist and syndicated columnist John Rosemond, America's most widely read parenting authority, explains the keys to negotiating this potentially tumultuous time.  He guides parents through toilet training establishing good bedtime habits, developing an effective disciplinary style, controlling biting and other aggressive behaviors, and many other issues that come with the territory.  In addition, Rosemond gives parents a tried-and-true recipe for bringing out the very best in their young children - a "best" that will translate into success in school, good peer relationships, and more stable and productive teen years.
