Its great to see a technique in action as it is so easy to second guess what you are doing during those challenging moments!
I can’t wait to try this out with my very curious 1 yr old. Fingers crossed:)
Thank u Tizzie. I have twins though so it works well with one but not when they r both up to tricks. Any tips?

Hi Nicky you need to choose one child at a time to use the holding technique with. If the other is intentionally going to get into mischief while you working on setting a boundary with the other one you might need to pop the ‘other’ one in a playpen or portacot with some toys while you work on the holding technique with the other toddler! Good luck and congratulations on having twins!

Hi Tizzie
All your advice is so good, but this is such a teaser(!) – am desperate for your toddler book as my 26 month old has just started to get quite pushy with friends (even though he’s tiny!) and I need to nip it in the bud! Please can you clarify the differences (if tehre are any) between the “save our sleep: Toddler” book on this website and the “How to raise a happy toddler” book that I have seen available for pre-order on a UK site? (Am in UK).
Many thanks for the stunning advice in Save our Sleep that now has my 7 month old sleeping (almost) perfectly practically one day of your routines and advice, allowing me time for my wonderful (though testing) little boy! And for helping me regain some of my sanity!!! Any tips on how to make daddy sit and read the books rather than watch re-runs of Friends?!?!?! lol!

Hi Natasha:
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am so pleased to hear you are doing so well following my baby book and routines.
The Toddler book ‘Save Our Sleep’ Toddler and ‘How to raise a Happy Toddler’ are basically exactly the same. ‘How to raise a Happy Toddler’ has just been renamed and has a different cover for the UK market. It has has just some terminology changes of things that are different in UK to what they are in Australia but the basic information is identical. ‘How to raise a Happy Toddler’ is not due for release until mid 2011 in the UK so if you were looking for the Toddler book now you can purchase the Australian version and we can send it over to you.
In regards to your husband, not sure I can help there – perhaps put a copy in the toilet? I have heard another client who had success in getting her husband to read the book that way – think she had to remove all his racing magazines first though 🙂

Hi Tizzie,
Thank you so much for posting this holding technique, it is so great to see it in practice. It is working so well with my one year old.
My 1 year old has been on your routines since 7 weeks of age and they have worked from day one of using them.
I am looking to get the toddler book but would love to by an electronic version for my ipad. Any updates if and when this might be available for download?
Cheers

Hi,
Is it possible to post the video for the holding technique for no again….I need a refresher! My 10mth old is obsessed with power points, pulling the covers off and sticking things into them!
Thanks
I really just wanted to say thankyou. Your Save our Sleep book has given my whole family our lives back! It was like overnight our little 6 month old changed. She is so happy settled and content. The first day I put her on your routine she slept through from her dream feed till 7am just like you said! I can’t believe it! Her older sister is back in her routine and the family is just happier! Sounds like I have to invest in your toddler book now!
Thanks again!!!

Hi
I’ve been using your routines for the past 8 months now (my baby is now 14 months) They have worked wonders! Thank you! I need to invest in the Toddler book now as he’s becoming a little rascal and it’s becoming rather stressful ha!!
I am also pregnant again and need to buy the the baby book as it was only borrowed off a friend the first time round. I was wanting to know the difference between the Save our Sleep UK and Australian version – is it like with the above Toddler book where it’s exactly the same but just the terminology has been changed to suit each country? The main thing is for the routines from birth.
Many thanks

My son is now 5. Thank you for saving our sleep all those years ago. Our little boy responded to your technique within 24 hours, and went from the dreadful baby to the dream baby!
I still insist on anyone I meet to try your techniques. They all have the same issue, and that is sleep!
It works It works It works!!!

Hi Tizzie
just went out and bought you book for toddlers … wanted the hubby to see the video for this technique so he does it with our 19 month old boy who has recently started to slap and saying ‘Dont’ to just about everything. The link above is not working nor is the link in one of your messages. Anywhere else I can check and any advice on how on the issue.

Hi Tizzie- I love everything about this except the consequence being “mommy’s going to HOLD you.” Is there anything else that can be said? I love ‘holding’ my son in general and the thought of being held by a child’s mother being a ‘punishment’ seems a little confusing. I am also not sure if it’s a different country language difference (I am from the U.S.) but we always say, “come here mommy wants to hold you” which is similar thing to hugging/cuddling. Does that make sense? Would love to here your thoughts on that. 🙂 It’s almost like saying “if you don’t listen, mommy’s going to hug you!”

Hi Tanya:
Here we don’t normally say come here Mummy wants to hold you we say come and give mummy a love, or come and give mummy a cuddle or come and give mummy a hug, or we say mummy wants to give you a cuddle or hug. Also the tome of your voice lets them know what you mean when you say mummy wants to hold you when its a cuddle rather then you are asking mummy to hold you they pick up on the differnce.

This is such a great technique! How old does a bub need to be to start implementing this technique? My little one is 7 months and nearly crawling so I imagine she will be into heaps of things she shouldn’t be… Maybe I will buy the Toddler book in advance – I have all the others 🙂 She understands simple instructions (hold mummy’s hands, lift your head etc), but is she too young for this technique?

August 22nd, 2012 at 4:50 pm Tizzie says:
Hi Mandy:
Thank you for your email. Tizzie does recommend that as soon as your baby is mobile you can start implementing this technique. You will need to choose the most important things to implment it for though and just use a distraction technique for lesser things.
We also recommend that this toddler book can start being useful from as soon as your baby is mobile.
Thank you for your positive feedback and all the best.
