Story
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.

One basic need all children have, educator Alfie Kohn argues, is to be loved unconditionally, to know that they will be accepted even if they screw up or fall short. Yet conventional approaches to parenting such as punishments (including "time outs"), rewards (including positive reinforcement), and other forms of control teach children that they are loved only when they please us or impress us. Kohn cites a body of powerful and largely unknown research detailing the damage caused by leading children to believe they must earn our approval.

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.

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.

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 😅

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.

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.

A poorly assembled collection of blog posts
Any additional comments?
The core thesis of this book can be summarised as: accord your child's feelings, opinions, needs and wants with the same respect you would give any other persons. This is a compelling proposition, I've read the primary research that substantiates it and, because my initial, uninformed opinion was more "authoritarian", I've seen the happy, emotionally mature and thoughtful children its progressive adoption has created in my own family.
So the idea behind this book is good. But the book itself is terrible and best described as a "listicle of listicles". As the introduction notes, the content is mostly sourced from the author's blog posts and it shows in the low quality book that results.
Consisting of about 30-35k words, the book is divided into 35 short chapters. Whilst these are loosely grouped into themes it's hard to find an arc to the book. Certainly none is articulated. What's more, most of the individual articles are themselves nothing more than lists. Whether it's inability, lack of effort or a genuine, unarticulated impossibility, the author has not attempted to synthesise any overall conclusions or connect chapter to chapter. The resulting text is, quite literally, a list of lists:
"Chapter 1. First, XXX. Second, YYY. Third, ZZZ. Etc"
Some of the more interesting content are the letters from parents with the author's response. Whilst the responses almost always devolve to a list, prefaced with "Dear" and suffixed with "Warmly", the case example provided by the initiating letter provide context to an otherwise platitudinous flow of words.
And this is the deeper problem. Whilst I agree with the author's mindset and perspective, an agreement based on my own independent reading of the research, she presents no research or arguments for why her view is right. An endless sequence of platitudes and appeals to the authority of someone else who says the same thing is no more convincing than Gina Ford's (antithetical) arguments for scheduling and authoritarian discipline.
To summarise: A book is much more than a collection of chapters. An argument is much more than an assertion. Other books ("Raising Boys" and "Raising Girls" come to mind) put this poor effort to shame.

The content is so good.. But with a very dull and expressive-less narrator I cannot listen!!! Felt like this narrator stole the money I paid for this book w her poor performance!

Very easy to listen and take note from. Useful!
I found this a text I could digest between awake times with my son. Easy to understand and in bite size portions

Great parenting strategies for toddlers
My son has just turned one year old and I really needed a consistent approach that we can follow that feels right for our family. I love the balance between listening to your children while respectfully providing firm boundaries. So far I think our son responds well to it. There are still a lot of situations I don't know what to do but it provides a good starting point.

Game Changer
As I read this book I started implementing it. Absolutely gold and a powerful insight for a former believer in traditional power parenting.

Great advice that works for us!
I find the recommended approach works well for our daughter and for us.
Having experienced childhood relationship trauma I immediately was attracted to Janets recommended parenting approach but was still amazed at how easy and effective it really is.
People comment at how “advanced for her age”, how “well behaved” she is and how I am “such a calm mother” and this book contributed to and supports that outcome.
Thank you for this gift!

Very helpful, easy to understand, common sense.
I was very much averse to authoritarian styles of parenting, having observed how ineffective and sometimes damaging this could be in my own childhood, and experience working with families as a health professional. I thought I was a mindful parent that was fostering emotional intelligence in my child. But I now realise my aversion to authoritarian style parenting was causing me to be far too passive with boundaries which was confusing for my child and working against what I was hoping to achieve. RIE parenting approach as explained so clearly by Janet in this book has changed our family for the better, and made me realise that firm boundaries (where it matters) does not have to equal punishment and authoritarianism. We are much less stressed and more connected as a result. Thank you.

Took a weight right off me!
I loved everything about this! My husband and I did a few things as I began listening and in 1 day we saw a huge change in our 2 yr old who is learning to live life and who now has a new sibling. I feel validated as a parent and like I have the tools to help guide my daughters through life. Thank you Janet and I highly recommend this book to every parent!
