Eat Sleep Tantrum Repeat
How to Parent Like a Pediatrician and Keep Your Toddler Happy and Healthy
Congratulations! You've survived the first twelve months of parenthood, along with all the joys, worry, and sleep deprivation they bring. Welcome to the toddler years—and a whole new set of challenges.
From toilet training, picky eating, and naptime to separation anxiety, screen time, and (whisper it) tantrums, toddlerhood brings developmental milestones and decisions that can feel totally daunting, especially in this golden age of mommy bloggers, parenting podcasts, and fear-mongering posts. How can you feel confident and empowered in your choices when there is so much at stake?
As both an experienced pediatrician and a mother, Rebekah Diamond understands the need for a childrearing approach that keeps things simple, without sacrificing science or safety. Just as she did in her first book, Parent Like a Pediatrician, which focused on your baby's first year, she cuts through the noise to tackle the wonders and hardships of raising a toddler. Instead of strict guidelines and overwhelming commands, Dr. Diamond offers advice that is medically sound, inclusive, and realistic for busy parents.
There is no single "right" away to parent, but Eat Sleep Tantrum Repeat will show you how to create a way that is right for you and your child, and make these toddler years safe, science-approved, and joyful.

Pediatrician Diamond (Columbia Univ.; Parent Like a Pediatrician) focuses here on the preschool years, which can be challenging for parents, especially new ones. Her book covers some of the most common skirmishes that arise with preschool-aged children, as well as topics such as eating and sleeping schedules, picky eaters, and more. The author urges readers to simply ditch advice that doesn't work for them and ignore unrealistic parenting scripts in favor of incorporating mindfulness and humor and looking at the bigger picture. Her book shows readers how to create visual schedules for preschoolers and how to model and teach emotional skills to children. Science-based perspectives on childhood vaccine schedules, chemical sunscreens, and insect repellants are also presented. Some readers may not agree with all of Diamond's views--e.g., that toilet training is optional, or that vegetarianism can work for toddlers--but most of her advice comes across as common-sense. Thus, much of the book will likely reassure worried parents who are trying their best in a perfection-oriented culture. VERDICT Parents of toddlers will feel comforted by this medical perspective on the myriad of decisions they face daily.
