Toddlerhood is one of the most fascinating and rewarding periods of childhood development. In fact, in over twenty years of caring for children, ages 1-5 are my absolute favorite!

For a majority of people, however, it is a period marked by confusion, conflict, frustration, and sometimes, just total chaos. Your little one can suddenly have full, thought out conversations. They are discovering so much about themselves and the world around them. For the first time, you have what feels like actual big-kid, or sometimes even grown up, communication.

So why then, do they spiral into complete tantrums over very simple things you have explained to them and they seemingly understood? Why do they have meltdowns over something they asked for two seconds ago? Why does everything have to be a battle involving big emotions, tears, and sometimes even worse? Why does bedtime take two hours of endless questions, and hugs, and more questions, and kissing every stuffy, and water breaks, and even more questions?

That’s why I’m here! Toddlerhood can be so confusing and exhausting to navigate. I am here to help simplify it all and help you turn that chaos into a happy, well regulated, and far less stressful relationship with your child.

You will come away from this with incredible understanding of your child and how to handle anything they can throw at you, handle those big emotions, avoid tantrums and meltdowns, and finally be able to put them to bed in a consistent and reasonable amount of time.
