Get helpful strategies to manage when your toddler has tantrums, doesn’t like your “no” answer, or gets upset because you set a boundary. I chatted with special guest Jessica VanderWier, Registered Psychotherapist and founder of Our Mama Village, to learn about parenting your toddler – especially when you identify as a people pleaser or just really have a hard time when your decisions make your little one unhappy.

I’m Kacie Barnes, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist of Mama Knows Nutrition. Most of our episodes focus on toddler nutrition and mealtime struggles, but as we all know, tantrums and unhappiness frequently occur at mealtime! So today you’ll get some of Jess’s best tips about appropriately setting boundaries with your toddler, and how to handle it when your toddler gets upset or throws a tantrum because of those boundaries.
