More importantly, you’ll see how aiming at the wrong problem can accidentally make tantrums worse — even when you’re trying to help.I walk you through two powerful, real-life examples that change how you see tantrums entirely:A sibling “sharing” struggle that isn’t about sharing at all A preschool shoe battle that looks like “not listening,” but is really about something elseThese examples show why fixing the behavior often misses the real need — and what happens when you respond to the right problem instead.We’ll also cover:The most common tantrum triggers parents overlookThe one question that instantly shifts how you respondWhy teaching during a meltdown doesn’t work (and what does)A real-life IHOP moment that shows how modeling regulation can prevent a meltdown before it startsBy the end of this episode, tantrums won’t feel so confusing — or so personal. You’ll start seeing them as communication, not misbehavior, and you’ll know how to respond in a way that actually helps your child move forward.00:00 Introduction: Understanding Toddler Tantrums01:14 Why Tantrums Feel So Confusing03:49 Common Tantrum Patterns07:02 The Question That Changes Everything08:10 Why Teaching Doesn't Work Mid-Meltdown09:23 Real-Life Example: The Pancake Meltdown12:34 Changing the Pattern, Not the Moment15:50 Conclusion and Resources------------------------------------------------------"If you’re struggling with toddler tantrums and behaviors like hitting & not listening...
