Ep 16 - Navigating Toddler Tantrums: What’s Normal and How to Cope

Welcome back to the Healing Mothers’ Club with Danik Bernier! In today's episode, we dive into a topic every mom grapples with: Are my child's tantrums normal? And what should I do if they seem to last longer than expected?

As we continue day 5 of our 7-day mini-series on self-regulation for moms, we'll explore:

• Understanding typical vs. concerning tantrum behavior through a trauma-focused lens.
• The importance of self-regulation for moms to effectively observe and respond to their child's emotional outbursts.
• How to differentiate between developmentally appropriate expressions of emotions and signs that your child may need additional support.
• Practical tips for being a safe, empathetic presence for your child during their tantrums.

Danik shares her personal experiences and insights, reassuring moms that tantrums, no matter how intense, are a normal part of childhood. She emphasizes the importance of moms addressing their own self-regulation challenges to break the cycle of trauma and be the supportive presence their children need.

Join the conversation and discover how to navigate your child's emotional storms with confidence and empathy. Don’t miss out on the special enrollment for the Self-Regulation for Moms masterclass, open until Monday, July 8th at midnight!
