Why Reasoning With Toddlers Can Actually Backfire

#214 In this episode, Lisa shares her thoughts on parenting toddlers. She covers what age she considers to be a toddler, toddler impulse control, discipline for toddlers, shifting focus towards connection, her take on the word brat, and the fact that parents are learning as they go. 

Lastly, Lisa addresses eleven listener questions, discussing how to approach discipline for a bilingual 20-month-old, how to handle a strong-willed 30-month-old showing physical aggression and saying no, responding to a 22-month-old pushing others, and what to do about a 15-month-old throwing pillows at bedtime. She then covers strategies for getting a 35-month-old to follow a bedtime routine, applying calm leadership for a toddler who is hard of hearing, managing 19-month-old tantrums, and dealing with a toddler repeating questions and interrupting. Finally, she explores the parents' reaction during a toddler tantrum, how to respond when a toddler hits others when they are wronged at the park, and how to approach a toddler hitting a dog.
