Do you ever feel overwhelmed when your toddler hits—especially when you're trying your best to parent with patience and intention?

With all the advice out there on how to manage tantrums, power struggles, and big emotions, it can be hard to know what really works—especially if you’re raising a neurodivergent child or simply trying to create a more calm and peaceful parenting experience.

In this short episode of our weekly podcast, I’ll walk you through simple parenting strategies that blend gentle discipline with firm, clear boundaries. You’ll learn a "green light" and "red light" method—an easy-to-remember guide that helps you respond without yelling, shaming, or confusion.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll know:
✔ Why toddlers hit (it’s not always what you think)
✔ What to do instead of lectures or punishment
✔ How to support your child’s anxiety & emotions with kindness and structure
✔ How to protect your parent-child connection during stressful moments
