The Toddler Discipline Playbook

A quick-reference guide featuring calm scripts for handling tantrums, biting, and big emotions in children aged 1 to 3. It explains why a toddler's brain cannot yet self-regulate, teaches a three-step calming method (breathe, name the feeling, offer a choice), and includes specific sections on biting and aggression, setting boundaries without yelling, and the defiant "no" phase. It concludes with a chapter on how adults manage their own limits—because raising young children requires caring for the caregiver, too.
