Does your toddler say no to everything and refuse what you ask them to do? You're not alone. In this episode I encourage parents and caregivers to look past the words children speak and look a the emotion behind the words. I discuss allowing kids to process their emotions, to understand what they feel, why they feel it and that it is a temporary experience. Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and in survival mode? Determined to be calm and connected to help your child thrive? Book your ⁠complimentary connection call⁠ to see how we can transform the toddler years together with my 1:1 coaching.
