Bringing up Toddlers: Tantrums, Whining & Early Childhood Development with Parenting Coach Danielle Bettmann

Description
Did you know that 90% of a child's lifelong neuron connections are formed in the first 6 years of their lives? That effectively means that they are basically downloading their software through the inputs around them from their primary caregivers and peers. And that's important because that software will run on autopilot for the rest of their life. Think about your own belief systems and where they came from. Many of the things you believe aren't actually your unique beliefs. They were imprinted upon you by your primary caregivers - unless you worked really hard to undo them in your adult life. Today on the show, I'm joined by early childhood education expert and positive discipline certified parenting educator, Danielle Bettmann, to talk about how to parent in order to build healthy relationships with our children such that we build positive neural connections. We talk about whining and tantrums and how to deal with them, bribes and threats and why they don't work, the inner workings of positive discipline and how to use the techniques in practice, emotional regulation for both parent and child, and more. Danielle's focus is on children up to age 6, but parents of children of any age will benefit from the strategies being shared here today.
