Competing for attention and affection is not uncommon among twin toddlers or even toddlers that are just close in age.

When one toddler wants hugs and kisses from mom, the other one is usually not too far behind.

And when one toddler gets hurt during playtime or even when bickering with their sibling, you have to manage comforting one while navigating conflict resolution with the other.

So how do we manage this constant feeling of being pulled in a million different directions and give equal attention to multiple toddlers who have very different needs?

Join Heather in this episode as she discusses some simple yet effective strategies for how to navigate the fine line of providing enough care and attention to your toddlers without getting stuck in a cycle of stress and exhaustion.

It's time to grab your toolbox and make room for another helpful tool for parenting with grace and calm!

Parenting a complex, or neurodivergent, child is full of its own unique challenges and obstacles that add onto the many routine challenges we already face as parents everyday.

When we don't know how to support our children in the best way, or don't understand the why behind our children's behavior, we often get caught up in a cycle of stress, frustration, overwhelm, and anger.

The key to breaking the stress cycle is to gain a deeper understanding of why our children do what they do and gather the right tools for guiding them in a way that makes sense for them.

In this episode, Heather sits down with parenting coach Diane Dempster to discuss how to best guide and facilitate neurodiverse ("neuro-spicy" as Diane likes to call it!) children in shifting difficult behavior and finding better ways to cope.

Come join in the conversation to discover how you can lead your complex child more effectively from a place of true calm, mindfulness, and grace!

Are you making this mistake with your toddler?

This parenting tactic often becomes the biggest regret for many parents as their children grow into teens and then adults.

It often causes a rift in the parent-child relationship, creates shame-based beliefs for children, and stops them from developing their natural gifts and strengths.

Rather than playing against our children’s strengths to change their behavior, what if we leaned into their strengths and helped them develop those strengths the right way?

Join Heather in this episode as she discusses a topic close to her heart and one she feels every parent should be aware of.
