Navigating Power Struggles With Your Toddler

BratBusters Parenting Podcast

#061 In this episode Lisa discusses power struggles with your toddler and how to approach them, along with sharing what she believes is the main goal of a calm parenting leader.
She does this by diving into ten listener questions covering a range of toddler behaviours, including constant screaming twins, a persistent 21-month-old saying "no," a toddler who understands not to hit but does it anyway, a toddler struggling with a new sibling, a toddler running away during routine care, a toddler's anger when being helped, a 2-year-old seemingly choosing misbehaviour, a 24-month-old's intense departure tantrums, a toddler ignoring requests, and a toddler's strong demands for cuddles.
