76. Your Toddler's Defiance Decoded with Devon Kuntzman
Manage episode 515888805 series 3652413
Honestly, the stuff that makes you want to climb the nearest wall: the hitting, the five-star, opera-worthy tantrums, and those delightfully defiant "NO!"s? Yeah, that's your toddler doing exactly what they're programmed to do.
This week, I'm chatting with Devon Kuntzman, the author behind Transforming Toddlerhood. She founded Transforming Toddlerhood with the mission to dispel the myth that toddlerhood is terrible, and after working with countless kids in every family structure imaginable, she learned that there's no magic, one-size-fits-all parenting pill. But there are some developmentally smart strategies that work across the board.
Listen in this week as we explore Devon's 3-step recipe for developmentally smart discipline. Devon explains why toddler tantrums and meltdowns go hand-in-hand, how to respond when your child's playing in the dog's water dish, and why addressing behaviors five minutes later can actually be more effective than reacting in the moment. Most importantly, you'll understand why your child's behavior isn't good or bad, and how shifting this perspective changes everything about how you respond.
