The Woman Within19. Toddlerhood Part 2: Big Emotions, Firm Boundaries
Two months later, we’re back in the thick of toddlerhood—and realizing just how much there is still to learn.
In this episode of The Woman Within Podcast, we get honest about intense toddler tantrums, big emotions, boundary-pushing, and the moments when our parenting philosophies get put to the test. We talk about holding space for our children’s emotions while still holding firm boundaries, and how to know what your child actually needs in the moment.
We dive into emotional regulation, co-regulation, conscious parenting, authoritative parenting, and adaptive parenting—learning to respond to the individual child and the situation rather than following a rigid parenting philosophy. We also get vulnerable about parental rage, frustration, guilt, and repair, including what it looks like to come back to our children when we lose our patience.
And of course, we get practical: navigating tantrums, transitions, car-seat battles, temperament differences, playfulness, distraction, and finding ways to hold boundaries without losing connection.
