004 - Asking This One Question Will Change How You Deal With Toddler Tantrums
About this episode
"You need to show who's boss!"
"You shouldn't say no to your child!"
"Ignore them!"
"Validate feelings!"
You've probably heard A LOT of tantrum advice. What's a stressed parent to do?!
Each time I ask moms what's their number one concern, it's always "tantrums" that come up. That’s why in this episode, we’ll talk about the ONE thing that’s missing from a lot of the tantrum advice that’s on the internet, and ONE question to ask when your child has a tantrum.
Answering this ONE question will help us discern whether all the advice we're hearing does make sense for us.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
- Why tantrum parenting is a lot more nuanced than a trendy Instagram Reel.
- Why “just keep calm” isn't working for you (and it's not your fault!).
- The ONE question that will change the way you look at tantrum parenting forever!
