Join Dr. Cathryn in this episode as she guides you through handling tough toddler moments with calmness and empathy.

Learn to see past the surface behavior and understand your child's emotions. For example, if your toddler says, "I hate the baby", instead of ignoring these feelings, acknowledge and understand them. Think about how you feel when someone dismisses your bad day; your child needs to feel heard just like you do. And teach them to express big emotions with words, not actions.

Keep in mind, it's completely natural for toddlers to go through a wide spectrum of emotions. The key is in how they convey these feelings.

In today’s discussion, we’re zeroing in on addressing the emotional side of handling challenging behaviors.
