Comment AGRO for all the info ❤️
Did you know that if you allow a feeling to fully process—like let it fill your whole body and don’t fight it…
It will break in 90 seconds or less.
Fighting or fleeing a feeling is actually what causes it to stick around.
We get all tangled up in having feelings ABOUT our feelings…rather than just maturely processing them all the way through.
And we wonder why we feel so threatened and triggered when TODDLERS’ wild feelings spray all over the place.
OF COURSE that triggers us.
Nobody taught us how to handle it—in ourselves, much less in others.
I’m teaching a workshop on Nov 20 called Emotions and Explosions where I’ll walk you through:
* What’s actually happening when a toddler (or adult) “loses it”, neurologically, emotionally, and relationally
* Exactly what to do before, during, and after a tantrum
* How to keep your own cool when their emotions run high
* What “processing a feeling” really means, for you and your child
* Simple ways to teach emotional intelligence day-to-day
I scheduled this before the holidays because I LOVE YOU and I want you to head into the most “big feelings” of the year…PREPARED.
Comment EMO and I’ll send you all the details ❤️🌲

It’s EMOTION + EXPLOSION season 🌲💣💥
The holidays are coming, full of hype, sugar, travel, and family dynamics.
In other words: the season of emotion and explosion.
You can head into it with dread and defensiveness…
or with a plan, a deep breath, and a sense of grounded confidence in both yourself and your child.
Emotion + Explosion is one-night live workshop with ME on November 20th.
You’ll learn:
* exactly what to do before, during, and after tantrums
* how to regulate yourself during those intense moments
* what “processing a feeling” really means for both of you
* and how to teach the emotional skills your child needs
.. to see fewer explosions in the first place.
It’s practical, doable, and immediately relieving.
LIVE workshop: November 20th, 7:30pm PT
Replay available if you can’t join us on the night.

DO SOMETHING WEIRD.
I don’t have a lot of mantras I life, but that’s 👆🏻 one of the few.
Toddler brains are building themselves through exploration and experience.
That means they instinctively prioritize INTEREST.
What is that?
Why is that happening?
How does it works?
Will it happen again?
This kind of curiosity is what drives PLAY. And at this age, play IS learning. And thus a brain builds its own internal structure.
It’s a very good system.
We meet resistance when we interrupt or step outside of a child’s zone of interest.
BUT we can bring almost anything into that zone if we make it play.
This is not a “get-out-of-conflict-free” card.
But it WILL bring down the number of fights DRAMATICALLY and instantly increase the amount of connection you experience with your toddler every day.
AND if “resistance” is looking a lot like “super aggressive behaviors” lately…never fear. That’s totally normal and I made you something to help:
AGGRESSION + EXPRESSION is a new course available at the link in my bio! Check it out and get some relief TODAY :)
Halloween saved 👻 Share this one far and wide before the sun goes down.
The story we tell defines our experience.
Telling ourselves (AND each other!!) how hard, terrible, gnarly toddler is / is going to be…sets us up to fail.
Toddlerhood IS intense. I’m not saying we need to pretend about that.
But if learn just a little bit about WHY it’s so intense and get clear on the INCREDIBLE brain development going on in these years (1-3)…
We can tell a MUCH better story and radically change our experience.
Say less.
Do less.
Recover well.
These are some of the basics you can learn in the Tantrums Masterclass, which is massively on sale right now at the link in my bio.
It’s all so normal.
All your feelings.
All your stressors.
All your responses.
We’re just people.
And if you need support for being a person who deals with toddler tantrums, go to the link in my bio and get your self the Tantrums Masterclass ON SALE now thru the end of October.
You were never supposed to have to do this by yourself. Let me support you in this :)
Follow .toilets.pottytraining for clear, calm potty training support and for toddler behavior insights!
Borrowing this powerful phrase from disability rights activism: “nothing about us without us.”
Toddlers deserve the same kind of respect.
If we’re going to talk ABOUT them—what they did, how they’re feeling, what they’re working on—and they’re right there…they deserve to be acknowledged.
Not because they’ll understand every word, but because being included teaches them something deeper:
I belong. My experiences matter. Grown-ups don’t talk about me like I’m invisible.
That has HUGE downstream effects on your relationship.
AND in the moment, keeps them from feeling like they need to get big/loud/wild or upset in order to get your attention.
