    Never Repeat Yourself Again: Tips to Help Kids Listen Every Time

    Dr Cathryn is tackling a topic that might seem simple but is actually a big deal for little ones: understanding time. Hear about Marcus, a 3.5-year-old who loves the swings but struggles when it's time to leave. Why? Because his mom is giving a warning like this: “We’re leaving in 5 minutes.” Kids can't see or touch time, so they don't understand it like adults do. But as they grow, they start to get it through routines and daily patterns.  Today’s Tips: 1. Use Sequences: Tell your child, "First park, then lunch, then playdate." It helps them understand the order of events. 2. Visual Timers: These show how much time is left in a way kids can see. 3. Sand Timers: A simple tool that helps kids see time passing. 4. OK WAKE UP Clocks: Helps your child know when it's okay to get out of bed by showing a green light. 5. Bonus Tip: Use calendars or a bead necklace to countdown to special days. Thanks for tuning in to Toddlers Made Easy, where we make the tough parts of parenting easier! Interested in more tools and big ideas to help during these challenging but crucial years?

    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.

    Fewer, Shorter, and Way Easier Tantrums

    Fewer, Shorter, and Way Easier Tantrums Tantrums are a normal and healthy part of toddlerhood! In this episode, we explore why tantrums happen and what they’re not. They aren’t signs of bad parenting, manipulation, or a lack of discipline—they’re your toddler’s way of expressing emotions they don’t yet have the skills to handle. We’ll share practical, big-hearted solutions to make tantrums fewer, shorter, and easier to manage. You’ll walk away feeling more confident and connected with your child, even during their toughest moments. Here’s what we cover: Fewer Tantrums: Learn how my P.R.E.P. method (Preview, Rehash, Engage, Pretend Play) helps toddlers feel prepared and reduces meltdowns. Shorter Tantrums: Timing matters! You’ll learn how to stay calm, validate your child’s feelings, and step in when the tantrum shifts from anger to sadness—all while setting big-hearted firm, clear boundaries. Easier Tantrums: Shift your mindset with a simple mantra: “A tantrum is just a toddler acting their age.” When you accept tantrums as normal and guide your child through their big feelings, they become easier for both of you to handle.
