47 | How to Manage Post Holiday Tantrums. Tested Strategies for Explosive Toddlers with Cara Tyrell
Do you ever feel trapped in a cycle of triggers, reactions, and meltdowns with your child? You’re not alone, and today we’re diving into how to break that exhausting pattern. In this episode, we’ll explore the Trigger Trap Reaction Cycle and why it can make us sound like our own moms or dads—despite our best intentions. You’ll learn how to respond calmly instead of reacting in the heat of the moment, reset your child’s regulation through intentional connection, and build their executive function skills. Plus, we’ll talk about why one-size-fits-all tantrum strategies don’t work and how proactive parenting can help you teach skills when your child is calm. If you’re ready to shift from survival mode to connection and problem-solving, this episode is for you!

Wendy Gossett helps parents understand their children by using temperament psychology and neuroscience. She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector.
Even though she holds a Master’s degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids. Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast.
Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography.
Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!
