About this episode
Ever find yourself starting calm, only to snap after your toddler ignores you again and again? It happens to the best of us—but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Dr. Cathryn is here to show you how to break the calm-snap cycle and manage tough toddler moments with patience and connection. ** 3 Key Points to Break the Calm-Snap Cycle :** ✔️ The Power Pause:** When you feel frustration rising, take a quick pause. Breathe, and remind yourself that your toddler is just acting their age. This simple break can stop you from snapping. ✔️ Mindset Shift:** Tantrums are normal and part of healthy development. Instead of seeing them as a sign your child is misbehaving, recognize they’re struggling and need your help to regulate. ✔️ Grounding Techniques:** In the moment, focus on something tangible like your feet pressing into the ground. This practice helps you stay present and calm during challenging behaviors. Want to dive deeper?
