The One Thing That Shapes Toddler Behavior and Self-Esteem

In this episode, we explore the key factor that shapes your toddler's behavior and self-esteem - your language and reactions. We'll discuss the concept of the toddler reactivity loop, how to set the stage for better behaviors, and why the attention you give is the attention you get back. Learn practical tips on redirecting rather than reacting and how to use positive praise to improve your toddler's behavior. Find out how your words and tone can shape your child's self-image and behavior over time. Plus, get a sneak peek into my upcoming book, 'The Perfectly Imperfect Family,' launching on May 8th.
