What is the book about raising your rambunctious child?
Strong willed? Some euphemism for stubborn, occasionally bratty and prone to tantrums.
She's not yet two. We need to figure some things out quickly before we resort to hanging her by her ankles over the stairway. Which she would find AWESOME.
Will this book help?

Raising Your Spirited Child
Don't remember the author though. It describes my almost 6 year old to a T. It helped us a lot.
Is it "1,001 uses for duct tape"? A brief search of google states that there are many books on parenting the strong willed child and some free online resources as well.
Power struggles. Yes. H and I are some stubborn mother effers. As dd is finding her own opinions on things, this is not really working in favor of a calm, happy home life. Thanks.
ETA - @CV - The description of the book is pretty funny, since it seems to be based on the premise that your child's extra-special-super-wonderful-genius-quirkiness is what is making things difficult. But whatever - I know people have found it very helpful, so I'll give it a go.
A whole house full of extra-special-super-wonderful-genius-quirkiness!!!!! Wheeee!

lolz.
I can't really imagine you as a "Because I said so" kind of mom, AB!
And I'll admit to having read Playful Parenting and taken away one thing - "filling her cup". There really are times when it seems like what she needs is for one of us to hang out with her and be as completely present as we can. She'll be an absolute angel for a couple hours after 30 minutes or so where we are doing something 100% together. And then I get weepy because she's going to get big.
I'm not. I'm not a spanker either.
I started reading that book a bit last week. Mostly I think people who write parenting books and esp. those who do speaking engagements are tools. I heard Michael Thompson speak recently, he is an entertainer of little real value.
ETA: But I haven't read that Spirited Child book, which could be quite good for all I know.
