In Season 2 Episode 34 of our Montessori Babies Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Blanca from @wholechildhome all about reframing toddlerhood to make both your experience and your toddler's experience easier and more peaceful! She is a psychotherapist and internationally certified positive discipline educator who specializes in supporting socioemotional development in early childhood through evidence-based approaches.

This week we discussed:

• What makes "terrible 2's" and "threenagers"?
• How do we work with our toddlers to support their development during this phase
• Tricky situations we may find ourselves in....
• How to support your own parental growth during this phase
• And more!

Prep your Toddler for School course: how you support your toddler’s transition to school can be more than making “ a quick drop off”. This is a course designed specifically to help you support your young child’s transition into school between the ages of 18 months and 3 years. https://wholechildhome.thinkific.com/courses/ToddlerSchoolPrep

Blog Post: “Why the ‘terrible twos’ are actually terribly important’”

Parenting consultations with Blanca: Get research-informed and Montessori-aligned support to welcome the big emotions, sudden shifts in your child’s behavior, tricky feeding or toilet learning stretches, or simply to learn how to nurture healthy emotional development at home. Let’s take all the social media and book content you’re flooded with and transform it into strategies that fit your child, your family, and the stage you’re in.
