Rude or Just Learning? Big-Hearted Fixes for Toddler Challenges

In this episode, Dr. Cathryn dives into three common toddler parenting challenges with big-hearted, practical solutions:

• Rudeness: Learn how to validate your toddler’s feelings without reinforcing rude behavior, teach social alternatives like waving instead of talking, and defuse attention-seeking behavior at home while modeling kindness and autonomy.
• Favoritism: Understand why toddlers show favoritism and how to handle it calmly, including tips to avoid over-repairing, build confidence in the less-preferred parent, and encourage one-on-one bonding time.
• Night Weaning: Discover how to gently reduce night wakings by teaching your toddler independent sleep skills, starting with separating bedtime feeds from falling asleep and creating a smoother nighttime routine.
