Join Dr. Cathryn in this episode as she guides you through handling tough toddler moments with calmness and empathy.

Learn to see past the surface behavior and understand your child's emotions. For example, if your toddler says, "I hate the baby", instead of ignoring these feelings, acknowledge and understand them.
