Podcast host Kay and Early Childhood Expert Sasha discuss why toddlers have big emotions, the types and triggers of tantrums, and practical co-regulation strategies for caregivers. They explain how tantrums are developmentally normal, not misbehavior, and offer tools for supporting emotional growth, like staying calm, using predictable routines, and reframing tantrums as communication. The key: support, not punishment, helps toddlers learn emotional regulation.
