In this The Follow-Up episode with the incredible team behind @biglittlefeelings, we're diving deeper into the everyday power struggles parents face — food throwing, hitting, biting, meltdowns, and more. I'm joined by Kristin and Deena to break down practical, compassionate scripts for managing these challenging behaviors without yelling, shaming, or losing your cool.

You’ll learn:

  • What to actually say when your toddler throws food
  • How to respond calmly and effectively to hitting and biting
  • Why trying to teach in the middle of a meltdown doesn’t work
  • The difference between setting a boundary and escalating a situation
  • How validating emotions can prevent anxiety and support long-term emotional health

Whether you're parenting a 1-year-old or a 5-year-old, these tools are grounded in developmental psychology, trauma-informed care, and real-world parenting experience. If you’ve ever wondered why your child isn’t “listening” or felt stuck in a cycle of frustration, this episode is for you.
