Why do I focus on toddlers when I'm experienced with kids of all ages? In this episode, Dr. Cathryn focuses on the vital role of the toddler years, challenging the notion of the 'Terrible Twos' and rebranding them as the 'Terribly Important Twos.' We discussed how toddlers still need as much emotional support as they did as infants, despite their growing independence. Key strategies for successful parenting include validating emotions, maintaining calm during tantrums, and encouraging emotional expression. This approach helps in nurturing resilient, confident, and extremely kind children. For more insights and practical tips, our 'Toddlers Made Easy' course is available for further guidance.

In this episode of "Toddlers Made Easy," we're diving into the EASY method—a transformative technique to help you navigate toddler tantrums with grace and effectiveness. Inspired by my own experiences as a pediatrician and a mom, EASY is all about creating a calm and connected approach to those challenging moments.
Let’s break it down:
**E**valuate: Take a power pause to create space between your child’s behavior and your reaction. Use deep breathing or grounding techniques to calm your nervous system.
**A**cknowledge Feelings: Show your child that you understand their emotions. A simple acknowledgment like, "You’re upset because you wanted that toy," makes them feel seen and valued.
**S**tick to Boundaries: This is where the real work happens. Being gentle is important, but so is being firm. Setting clear, consistent boundaries helps your child feel safe and learn what's acceptable.
**Y**es: Pivot to a positive yes. It’s not about giving in, but about teaching what they can do instead. “You can’t play with Joey’s truck, but you can choose another toy.”
We’ll see this in action with real-life examples, like how Lily’s hitting at daycare was managed with EASY, leading to a week without incidents. Or handling bedtime slaps with calm acknowledgment, firm boundaries, and offering choices.
Remember, discipline at this age is about teaching, not punishment. Toddlers need guidance and support, not fear and shame. Implementing EASY helps them develop the skills they need to manage their impulses and emotions.
Join us to learn more about this compassionate approach to parenting and become the parent you’ve always wanted to be.

Join Dr. Cathryn in this episode as she guides you through handling tough toddler moments with calmness and empathy. Learn to see past the surface behavior and understand your child's emotions. For example, if your toddler says "I hate the baby", instead of ignoring these feelings, acknowledge and understand them. Think about how you feel when someone dismisses your bad day; your child needs to feel heard just like you do. And teach them to express big emotions with words, not actions.Keep in mind, it's completely natural for toddlers to go through a wide spectrum of emotions. The key is in how they convey these feelings. In today’s discussion, we’re zeroing in on addressing the emotional side of handling challenging behaviors. Next week, we'll shift our focus to the behavioral side – setting boundaries and maintaining them effectively.Links and Resources:Follow Dr. Cathryn on Instagram: @healthiest_babyCheck out our bestselling online course: Toddlers Made Easy CourseOur NEW Potty Training Made Easy course is here!FREE: Does potty training terrify you?

Dr Cathryn is tackling a topic that might seem simple but is actually a big deal for little ones: understanding time.
Hear about Marcus, a 3.5-year-old who loves the swings but struggles when it's time to leave. Why? Because his mom is giving a warning like this: “We’re leaving in 5 minutes.”
Kids can't see or touch time, so they don't understand it like adults do. But as they grow, they start to get it through routines and daily patterns.
Today’s Tips:
1. Use Sequences: Tell your child, "First park, then lunch, then playdate." It helps them understand the order of events.
2. Visual Timers: These show how much time is left in a way kids can see.
3. Sand Timers: A simple tool that helps kids see time passing.
4. OK WAKE UP Clocks: Helps your child know when it's okay to get out of bed by showing a green light.
5. Bonus Tip: Use calendars or a bead necklace to countdown to special days.
Thanks for tuning in to Toddlers Made Easy, where we make the tough parts of parenting easier!

In this episode, Dr. Cathryn dives into three common toddler parenting challenges with big-hearted, practical solutions:
Rudeness: Learn how to validate your toddler’s feelings without reinforcing rude behavior, teach social alternatives like waving instead of talking, and defuse attention-seeking behavior at home while modeling kindness and autonomy.
Favoritism: Understand why toddlers show favoritism and how to handle it calmly, including tips to avoid over-repairing, build confidence in the less-preferred parent, and encourage one-on-one bonding time.
Night Weaning: Discover how to gently reduce night wakings by teaching your toddler independent sleep skills, starting with separating bedtime feeds from falling asleep and creating a smoother nighttime routine.

Fewer, Shorter, and Way Easier Tantrums
Tantrums are a normal and healthy part of toddlerhood! In this episode, we explore why tantrums happen and what they’re not. They aren’t signs of bad parenting, manipulation, or a lack of discipline—they’re your toddler’s way of expressing emotions they don’t yet have the skills to handle.
We’ll share practical, big-hearted solutions to make tantrums fewer, shorter, and easier to manage. You’ll walk away feeling more confident and connected with your child, even during their toughest moments.
Here’s what we cover:
Fewer Tantrums: Learn how my P.R.E.P. method (Preview, Rehash, Engage, Pretend Play) helps toddlers feel prepared and reduces meltdowns.
Shorter Tantrums: Timing matters! You’ll learn how to stay calm, validate your child’s feelings, and step in when the tantrum shifts from anger to sadness—all while setting big-hearted firm, clear boundaries.
Easier Tantrums: Shift your mindset with a simple mantra: “A tantrum is just a toddler acting their age.” When you accept tantrums as normal and guide your child through their big feelings, they become easier for both of you to handle.
Check out my Tantrum Crash Course Masterclass for even more tips and tools. For the next 48 hours, it’s available for just $27! This 38-minute class is packed with practical strategies, including my signature C.A.L.M. method and scripts for every tantrum scenario.

🍽️ Ever made the "perfect" meal for your toddler only to watch it land on the floor? In this episode, pediatrician Dr. Cathryn shares why toddler eating patterns are totally normal, even when they feel chaotic.
Key takeaways:
• Growth explains everything: Children's growth slows down naturally after year one. Some days they'll eat everything, others barely anything – and that's perfectly fine as long as they are growing well! Understanding this pattern helps parents stress less about daily food battles.
• It's all about control: Mealtime behavior is often your toddler's way of showing independence. Dr. Cathryn shares her "cho-cho" story from Grenada to help parents see food from their toddler's perspective.
• Different eating styles: Know if you have an "eat anything" adventurous eater, "maybe not" cautious eater, or the common "might like it" in-between eater. Understanding your child's natural style makes mealtimes smoother.

In this episode, Dr. Cathryn discusses how to avoid raising an entitled child and instead foster resilience. She begins by explaining the characteristics of entitled behavior in children while clarifying that normal toddler self-centeredness is different from entitlement.
Dr. Cathryn provides real-life scenarios to illustrate entitled behavior before delving into strategies for encouraging resilience. These strategies include treating toddlers as capable, assigning age-appropriate chores, maintaining boundaries, and encouraging problem-solving. She also emphasizes the importance of modeling gratitude, teaching delayed gratification, and celebrating effort rather than just results.
The episode highlights the significance of allowing children to experience disappointment and age-appropriate risks as part of their development. Dr. Cathryn encourages parents to reflect on whether they're allowing their children to take on suitable responsibilities and if they're modeling resilience themselves.

Ever find yourself starting calm, only to snap after your toddler ignores you again and again? It happens to the best of us—but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Dr. Cathryn is here to show you how to break the calm-snap cycle and manage tough toddler moments with patience and connection.
**3 Key Points to Break the Calm-Snap Cycle:**
✔️ The Power Pause:** When you feel frustration rising, take a quick pause. Breathe, and remind yourself that your toddler is just acting their age. This simple break can stop you from snapping.
✔️ Mindset Shift:** Tantrums are normal and part of healthy development. Instead of seeing them as a sign your child is misbehaving, recognize they’re struggling and need your help to regulate.
✔️ Grounding Techniques:** In the moment, focus on something tangible like your feet pressing into the ground. This practice helps you stay present and calm during challenging behaviors.
