Let’s talk toddlers.

If you’ve ever thought, “What on earth is happening in that tiny human’s brain?”—this episode is for you.

Here’s a taste of what we explored:

  • Why “all behavior is communication” might be the most important parenting mantra you’ll ever adopt
  • What really happens when you distract your toddler—and how to do it well
  • The surprising power dynamic at play in your home (hint: it’s not what you think)
  • How setting boundaries doesn’t stifle toddlers; it sets them free
  • What it looks like to parent through a lens of development, not discipline
  • Why your toddler’s big feelings are not your job to fix
  • The secret sauce for turning chaos into connection (and it might just be curiosity)

Devon helped me see toddlerhood not as a survival zone, but a golden window to build trust, independence, and yes – life skills. And if we get it right, this season can be magical.

You’ll leave this episode feeling a little more confident, a little less alone, and with a few new tools to navigate your toddler’s big emotions (and your own).
