Toddlers Made Easy with Dr Cathryn

Q&A: 3-Year-Old Fighting Bedtime and Toddler Throwing Explained


Listen Later

Bedtime was easy… until it wasn’t.
And suddenly your 3-year-old is fighting sleep, stalling, crying — and maybe even climbing out of the crib.

In this Q&A episode, I answer two common parent questions:


#1. Why a great sleeper suddenly starts resisting bedtime at age 3
#2. Why toddlers throw things — and how to respond calmly and effectively


We’ll talk about sleep changes, dropping naps, big transitions (like a new sibling or starting school), and what throwing really means and how to stop it.
