Guess who's back, back again...today we are lucky enough to chat with the toddler whisperer Mandy from @raisetoddlers again! And boy did we throw some questions at her! We cover so much in today's episode and we know you will get so much out of it so grab a coffee and settle in!
Episode breakdown:
- Let's discuss some classic toddler behaviours such as hitting (or aggression), shyness, fussy eating
- Jess' experience with her daughter who struggles with extreme shyness that comes out in the form of aggression. We discuss how as parents we feel a certain pressure to respond a certain way or discipline our children a certain way that perhaps don't normally align with our values.
- Some practical actions we can take as parents in the thick of toddler meltdowns.
- Helping kids explore and learn safely incl pushing boundaries.
- Ways we can help to build confidence in our kids and teaching them boundaries around others expectations (hello grandparents and strangers at the park!)
- Developmental leaps that happen around the 2-2.5 year mark in terms of sleep (or lack ther-of).
- Toilet learning, when to and when not to. A lot of actionable takeaways and useful tips for this one!
- Fussy eaters - something all parents have dealt with! Mandy chats about the tactics she takes in tackling this behaviour
