This one change has transformed so many families I work with (including my own).

When behaviour feels hard, I pause and ask.

What skill is missing here?

That’s where the real learning happens.

Example

You and your child planned to go to the park after lunch. Just as you’re about to leave, it starts raining. Your child throws a tantrum, saying, “I wanted to go now! This is sooo unfair”

Your child is struggling with flexibility and problem-solving skills.

They haven’t yet learned how to.................

Accept “no” or changes in plans

Wait for a later opportunity

Think of an alternative fun activity indoors

What we can teach

Acknowledge their disappointment.
“I know you really wanted to go to the park. I did too”

Offer choices.
“We can play a game inside or go to the park tomorrow. Which do you want?”

Model flexible thinking.
“Sometimes plans change. That’s okay. We can still have fun.”

This keeps the focus on teaching the skill instead of punishing the behaviour.

Toileting doesn’t need to be a battle.

✅ Choice for strong-willed children
✅ Predictability for sensitive little ones
✅ Movement for energetic children

When you follow their brain’s needs, the wins come faster — and calmer.

I’ve placed my toileting and behaviour tools inside my Parenting Solutions Resource Hub 🧸

Your toddler just dumped an entire box of cereal on the floor.
For the second time today.

And it's only 9am.

If you're wondering whether your active toddler is just "spirited" or if there's actually something going on... you need to read this.

Check out my 6 game-changing tips for dealing with toddlers who won't sit still.
(OR CANT SIT STILL_)
The kind of tips that actually work when your child is climbing the furniture, running away in parking lots, and turning every single moment into a full-body activity.
