Good news for those engaged with parenting and families: Since no one has bothered to publish a user manual for rearing children, parents are pretty much left to their own devices when it comes to bringing up baby. But help is out there.

- Ignore the two-year-old
- Place him/her in a timeout
- Walk away
- Give him/her what they want
- Divert their attention
