Taming the toddler

Hosted by LittleOak CEO and Founder, Elke Pascoe, This Little Life is an impromptu and lively discussion diving into the big and little issues of parenting and beyond.

Children don’t come with an instruction manual. And as parents, we’re often making it up as we go and hoping for the best. But when it comes to the unique delights of toddlerhood, all bets are off. How do we deal with the dreaded toddler tantrum? How do we get them to say yes instead of no,no,no? And please tell me, just how do we get them to eat their vegetables?

While we haven’t quite written that instruction manual, we think we’ve got the next best thing. Michelle Tangeman is a mother of 2, therapist and behaviour expert, and she joins us today to discuss whether we can, and indeed should we, tame the toddler.
