Raising Toddlers with Love and Limits: A Practical Guide to Positive Discipline

The toddler years don’t have to be a battlefield. They can be a bridge towards understanding, connection, and calm.

Tantrums in supermarket aisles, power struggles over bedtime, and quiet worries that maybe you're doing it all wrong.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your toddler’s emotional storms, you’re not alone or failing. Raising Toddlers with Love and Limits offers a warm, practical guide to parenting during these intense early years with confidence, compassion, and clarity.

Grounded in neuroscience, filled with real-life stories, and brimming with evidence-based strategies, this book is a breath of fresh air for parents craving a respectful, kind, and emotionally intelligent approach to discipline. With gentle humour and profoundly human insight, author Hugh Brent walks you through the challenges of toddlerhood, not to control your child, but to understand them.

Inside, you'll discover:

•How to set firm, loving boundaries without shouting or shaming

•Practical scripts and tools for navigating meltdowns and defiance

•The science behind toddler brain development and emotional behaviour

•Ways to teach emotional intelligence and build lifelong resilience

•Mindful techniques for staying calm, even on your hardest parenting days

•Inclusive cultural perspectives and real-world parenting examples

•Tips for managing sibling dynamics, fostering independence, and building community

Whether a first-time parent or a seasoned caregiver, this guide will help you transform everyday struggles into meaningful teaching moments and raise calm, confident children who feel deeply loved and guided.

Because toddlers don’t need perfect parents, they need present ones. And with love and limits, you can be the parent they need.
