Description
Sequel to the award-winning Mommy, Daddy I Had a Bad Dream! This children's picture book for ages 3 and up models a loving, constructive, developmentally informed response to young children's meltdowns and will benefit both children and parents. The essence of the story is a progression in which Jilly, a happy little kangaroo, has a series of Terrible Temper Tantrums. Her parents firmly yet lovingly help her through them until she is able to seek them out for comfort in the face of frustrations that in the beginning would have caused a major meltdown. Jilly comes to understand that true happiness doesn’t come from the gratification of any particular desire but from the warmth and support available within the family. Children will be very familiar with the frustrations that trigger Jilly’s upset feelings (her brother is getting all the attention, a friend won’t play what she wants, she can only have one toy at the toy store, her block tower keeps falling) and will applaud her dawning understanding that seeking help and a hug is far superior to the misery of a temper tantrum.

Wonderful way to show kids and parents how kids tantrums should be handled.
Jilly is a little kangaroo, who being kid thinks crying and getting angry is a shortcut to things get done. But his parents instead of publishing or scolding him, used a proper approach which helps kid to learn win -win approach.
In today's world, where couple having 1 or 2 kid(s) are used to provide everything in excess. Being spoilt, kids stop respecting things and start talking things for granted. And there are cases where parents demand over discipline from kids. Both situation is not good for better value system for kids.
Very good book.

Jilly the Kangaroo is very easily frustrated and has no patience. Any parent raising a small child can relate to this. Jilly doesn't want to wait, doesn't like to compromise, and wants everything her way. Yet, with tons of patience, love, soothing words and cuddles, her Mother and Father manage to calm Jilly the Kangaroo down time after time until Jilly learns to use her words to voice her feelings before her negative emotions burst out. Jilly's Terrible Temper Tantrums is a wonderful text that teaches children how to manage their big emotions in a healthy way for a positive outcome.
