The Triumphant Child, A Practical Guide To Raising Two, Three And Four Year Olds is a book written by a number of child specialists. It is edited by Olson Huff, MD FAFF and Nicole Rawson-Huff.  That advice in this book centers on teaching parents about how children develop emotionally, physically and mentally. When parents understand these areas, it is easier to know what to provide for your child and how to build on what is needed for your child to mature and for your family to get along.

The book is written by different authors and focuses on these subjects:

• The developmental stages of preschoolers
• Parenting skills
• Keeping routines
• Challenges of raising children
• Changes including divorce, starting school, moving, etc.
• Fears that children face
• The effect of media on children

My Review: Although my children are older than the ages covered in The Triumphant Child, I learned a great deal from this book. I liked that there was no preaching and that the authors understood and even expected parents to make mistakes. The tips from other parents listed throughout the book were inspiring. The information is very detailed but you don’t need to remember everything. Having the book to look back on when you have a question is the perfect option though.

Learning how to be a “triumphant parent” is the goal of this book. I learned about truly listening to my child, how to provide activities that keep them happy and that educate them and how to nurture their self-esteem. This information can be used for any aged child.

To Purchase : The Triumphant Child has it’s own website where you can order the book.
