How to Calm A Toddler's Tantrum Without Making It Worse

Tantrums aren’t misbehavior—they’re a sign your child’s system is overloaded. In this episode, Dr. Cathryn talks about how your calmness (not your words) is the key to helping tantrums pass without escalating.

You’ll learn:

• Why reasoning and “calm down” don’t work in the middle of a tantrum

• When to stay close and quiet—and when to step in for safety

• How sharing your calm helps your child regain theirs
