00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:17.440
Welcome back to toddler's Made Easy, the no-fluff podcast for busy parents who don't have the time to scroll for answers while a toddler's climbing the bookshelf.
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:18.239
I'm Dr.
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:27.199
Catherine, a pediatrician, just recently retired, mom of four, and here to help make this stage feel a lot less overwhelming.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.640
So let's get going.
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.840
Today we're going to talk about the secret to shorter, fewer, and less intense tantrums.
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.200
Sounds good, right?
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:41.039
Well, I've seen tantrums in hospital hallways, grocery stores, and my own living room.
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.520
In fact, 30 years ago I was doing my weekend rounds at my local hospital.
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.439
And my three and a half-year-old daughter came with me, as my kids often did.
00:00:49.600 --> 00:01:02.640
Right outside a patient's room, my little girl threw herself on the floor and started screaming because she wanted a stuffed animal that little girl, newly diagnosed with diabetes, had in her crib.
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:13.840
Doctors, nurses, families, everyone I worked with daily watched my little daughter roll around having a complete meltdown in the pediatric ward.
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.239
Well, I just wanted to disappear.
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:21.680
Today we're talking about how to handle a situation like that and why do they happen.
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.560
So let's start with a quick version of brain science, toddler brain science.
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.200
Your toddler's brain works in two parts.
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.200
Basically, I'm simplifying things.
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.920
There's emotional and logical sides.
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.319
During a tantrum, the emotional side hijacks everything.
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.319
No big surprise there, right?
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:48.239
The logical part that helps adults think things like, oh, this isn't worth freaking out over, it simply isn't online yet.
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.200
And this means your child literally cannot think their way out of big feelings.
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.719
They're not being manipulative, defiant, or testing you.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.680
Their brain development just isn't there.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:01.840
So what triggers tantrums?
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.879
Understanding what sets off tantrums helps you spot them coming, and often, not always, you can head them off.
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.719
Last week a mum told me about her two year old's meltdown at Target.
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:27.759
The child spotted a toy truck in the cart ahead of them, and when they passed the toy aisle without stopping, he started screaming Truck, truck, and he threw himself backward in the cart so hard the mum thought the little guy might flip it over.
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.520
Well twenty minutes of crying in the parking lot followed.
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.199
Another parent described her daughter's reaction to leaving a play date.
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:46.960
This little girl had been having so much fun, and when it was time to go, the moment she heard five more minutes, she started wailing, and she crawled under the play table and refused to come out.
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:53.759
Of course, all the other parents were watching while she tried to extract a screaming child from someone else's house.
00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:02.560
Both of these stories show the most common triggers in action frustration, when a child can't do something or can't have something.
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:10.319
Physical needs, these are very common reasons for tantrums, when your child's hungry or tired, and also overwhelmed.
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:17.199
Transitions and changes are a good trigger, as is overstimulation, like at that birthday party.
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.719
Have you ever noticed how birthday parties turn into tantrum zones?
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:25.520
Too much input, too many people, changes to disrupted routines.
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:33.280
So let's look at the prep method, which is a way to help your child have fewer tantrums, in other words, to avoid it altogether.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.599
And this is really about prepping your child.
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:36.960
So I've broken it down.
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:41.599
Prep stands for preview, rehearse, engage, practice.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.520
And now let's look at each of these.
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.280
Preview is about telling your child what's coming in detail.
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.080
We're going to the store, you'll sit in the cart, we need milk and bread.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.560
When we're done, we'll go home for lunch.
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.319
You might see toys you want, but we're not buying toys today.
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.000
That might be a little frustrating, but I know you can handle it.
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:07.840
So in the preview, you're going to tell them not just what's going to happen, but how they may feel about it.
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.680
Then you can rehearse, repeat the plan as you get closer to the store or closer to the event.
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.800
Engage your child by having them tell you the plan back.
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.199
What do you think happens after we get milk?
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.120
And lastly is practice.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:30.879
This is for big events, not just like a trip to the store, but for practice you would use pretend play for some of those really tricky situations like going to the dentist or going to the doctor.
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.120
And you can let them play both roles.
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.759
You, they can be the parent or the kid.
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.920
Other tantrum reducers are prioritizing sleep.
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.959
Tired kids equal more meltdowns.
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.399
Offering two good choices helps prevent tantrums.
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.000
Let your kids do things independently when possible.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.120
Let's look at how to get shorter tantrums.
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.399
So we just discussed how to get fewer, now shorter.
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:02.240
So I watched a dad at the airport handle this situation so beautifully and I wanted to share it with you.
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.000
His four-year-old lost it when a flight delay was announced.
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.639
That's exactly how I feel when they're announced.
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.759
However, my logic center is online.
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:20.160
The child was screaming about wanting to go on the airplane now, and the dad didn't try and reason with him or distract him.
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.519
He just sat nearby and occasionally said something like, I know buddy, while the child raged.
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:32.079
After a few minutes when the screaming turned into sobbing, then this dad shuffled a little closer and offered a hug.
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.519
And the child basically melted into him and it was over.
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.720
So you see, tantrums actually follow a pattern.
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.920
First comes anger, then comes sadness.
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.240
If you jump in during that angry phase, with some kids you'll make the tantrum last longer.
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:55.519
So you want to wait for that anger peak to subside, and then as things are fizzling out, offer the comfort.
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.199
During the peak, stay calm and be present if you can.
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.959
You don't need to talk very much.
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:11.199
You can make some comforting noises, but this is where sharing your calm helps your child feel calm, but they basically share your ability to regulate.
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:18.560
So your calm presence communicates that big feelings are manageable and you're not going anywhere.
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.839
Let's move on now to easier tantrums.
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.720
So we've talked about fewer, we've talked about shorter, and now we want easier.
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.360
A mum contacted me last month about a situation that really upset her.
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.959
Her three year old had a meltdown at Costco because she wouldn't buy him a jumbo sized box of cookies.
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:44.800
He threw himself on that concrete floor and screamed for, she said about fifteen minutes, and everyone around them was looking.
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:50.399
She felt like she was failing as a parent and kept asking herself, what am I doing wrong?
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.720
Well the answer is nothing really.
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.399
She was dealing with the toddler who was acting his age.
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.199
I'm going to encourage you to stop seeing tantrums as misbehavior.
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.759
They're not, they're communication.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.079
Your child is telling you they're overwhelmed, they don't know how to handle it.
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.480
Your job isn't to stop the tantrums or to fix it immediately.
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.959
Your job is really just to stay regulated and help them through it.
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:22.079
Remember, they're not giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time.
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:30.160
And while that phrase is grossly overused, it's such an important message that I have to repeat it.
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.079
They're not giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time.
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.920
Tantrums are actually exhausting for kids too.
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:43.519
They often feel confused and worried that you're going to be angry afterwards.
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.480
So the bottom line is this tantrums are developmental.
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:56.319
They're normal, they're healthy, they're how toddlers process big feelings with an immature nervous system.
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.920
The calmer you stay, the faster they'll learn to regulate themselves.
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:06.000
And I'm not suggesting that's easy to do whatsoever.
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.839
And there will be times where you do it great and times when you don't.
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.519
Please don't be hard on yourself because guess what?
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.439
You're human too.
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.399
So there are basically three key things I'm gonna ask you to try and remember.
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:32.559
Prevention works better than management, so that means prepping your kids, bringing a snack if you're gonna be out for a long time, don't go on long trips without your child having napped first.
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:40.080
Just anything you can do to prevent a tantrum is gonna be easier to handle than dealing with that tantrum.
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:48.480
Your calm response shortens the duration of a tantrum, and accepting tantrums as normal makes them easier to handle.
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:49.519
And do you know why?
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.679
Because how we look at a problem shapes how we respond to it.
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.960
So let's say you think of a tantrum as misbehavior.
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.720
Well, you're gonna handle it differently and you're gonna feel differently about it.
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:13.200
But if you think of it as normal and healthy and just a stage we need to get through until our child develops the words to express their feelings, well, you're gonna be able to stay calmer through the tantrum.
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:14.399
And that's it.
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:21.519
There's no magic formulas, just understanding about brain development and responding accordingly.
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:26.559
Parenting is hard, and it's the most important job there is.
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.480
But you don't have to do it alone.
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.840
That's where the Big Hearted School of Parenting comes in.
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:36.000
It's the only membership just for parents of young kids.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:41.600
You'll find real-life tools, expert guidance, and a community that truly gets it.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:42.720
Plus, there's Dr.
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.120
Katherine Chatbot where you can get 24-7 advice.
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:53.440
Loving your child is natural, but parenting them is a skill, and we're here to help.
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.039
Thank you for listening.
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.240
Keep up the good work, and I'll see you next week.
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:17.440
Welcome back to toddler's Made Easy, the no-fluff podcast for busy parents who don't have the time to scroll for answers while a toddler's climbing the bookshelf.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.200

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.879
Understanding what sets off tantrums helps you spot them coming, and often, not always, you can head them off.
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.719

Transitions and changes are a good trigger, as is overstimulation, like at that birthday party.
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.719

Too much input, too many people, changes to disrupted routines.

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.599
And this is really about prepping your child.

Prep stands for preview, rehearse, engage, practice.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.520
And now let's look at each of these.
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.280
Preview is about telling your child what's coming in detail.
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.080
We're going to the store, you'll sit in the cart, we need milk and bread.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.560

That might be a little frustrating, but I know you can handle it.
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:07.840
So in the preview, you're going to tell them not just what's going to happen, but how they may feel about it.
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.680
Then you can rehearse, repeat the plan as you get closer to the store or closer to the event.
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.800
Engage your child by having them tell you the plan back.
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.199
What do you think happens after we get milk?
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.120
And lastly is practice.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:30.879
This is for big events, not just like a trip to the store, but for practice you would use pretend play for some of those really tricky situations like going to the dentist or going to the doctor.
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.120
And you can let them play both roles.
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.759
You, they can be the parent or the kid.
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.920
Other tantrum reducers are prioritizing sleep.
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.959
Tired kids equal more meltdowns.
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.399
Offering two good choices helps prevent tantrums.
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.000
Let your kids do things independently when possible.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.120
Let's look at how to get shorter tantrums.
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.399
So we just discussed how to get fewer, now shorter.
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:02.240
So I watched a dad at the airport handle this situation so beautifully and I wanted to share it with you.
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.000
His four-year-old lost it when a flight delay was announced.
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.639
That's exactly how I feel when they're announced.
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.759
However, my logic center is online.
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:20.160
The child was screaming about wanting to go on the airplane now, and the dad didn't try and reason with him or distract him.
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.519
He just sat nearby and occasionally said something like, I know buddy, while the child raged.
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:32.079
After a few minutes when the screaming turned into sobbing, then this dad shuffled a little closer and offered a hug.
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.519
And the child basically melted into him and it was over.
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.720
So you see, tantrums actually follow a pattern.
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.920
First comes anger, then comes sadness.
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.240
If you jump in during that angry phase, with some kids you'll make the tantrum last longer.
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:55.519
So you want to wait for that anger peak to subside, and then as things are fizzling out, offer the comfort.
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.199
During the peak, stay calm and be present if you can.
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.959
You don't need to talk very much.
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:11.199
You can make some comforting noises, but this is where sharing your calm helps your child feel calm, but they basically share your ability to regulate.
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:18.560
So your calm presence communicates that big feelings are manageable and you're not going anywhere.
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.839
Let's move on now to easier tantrums.
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.720
So we've talked about fewer, we've talked about shorter, and now we want easier.
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.360
A mum contacted me last month about a situation that really upset her.
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.959
Her three year old had a meltdown at Costco because she wouldn't buy him a jumbo sized box of cookies.
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:44.800
He threw himself on that concrete floor and screamed for, she said about fifteen minutes, and everyone around them was looking.
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:50.399
She felt like she was failing as a parent and kept asking herself, what am I doing wrong?
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.720
Well the answer is nothing really.
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.399
She was dealing with the toddler who was acting his age.
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.199
I'm going to encourage you to stop seeing tantrums as misbehavior.
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.759
They're not, they're communication.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.079
Your child is telling you they're overwhelmed, they don't know how to handle it.
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.480
Your job isn't to stop the tantrums or to fix it immediately.
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.959
Your job is really just to stay regulated and help them through it.
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:22.079
Remember, they're not giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time.
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:30.160
And while that phrase is grossly overused, it's such an important message that I have to repeat it.
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.079
They're not giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time.
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.920
Tantrums are actually exhausting for kids too.
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:43.519
They often feel confused and worried that you're going to be angry afterwards.
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.480
So the bottom line is this tantrums are developmental.
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:56.319
They're normal, they're healthy, they're how toddlers process big feelings with an immature nervous system.
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.920
The calmer you stay, the faster they'll learn to regulate themselves.
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:06.000
And I'm not suggesting that's easy to do whatsoever.
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.839
And there will be times where you do it great and times when you don't.
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.519
Please don't be hard on yourself because guess what?
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.439
You're human too.
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.399
So there are basically three key things I'm gonna ask you to try and remember.
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:32.559
Prevention works better than management, so that means prepping your kids, bringing a snack if you're gonna be out for a long time, don't go on long trips without your child having napped first.
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:40.080
Just anything you can do to prevent a tantrum is gonna be easier to handle than dealing with that tantrum.
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:48.480
Your calm response shortens the duration of a tantrum, and accepting tantrums as normal makes them easier to handle.
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:49.519
And do you know why?
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.679
Because how we look at a problem shapes how we respond to it.
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.960
So let's say you think of a tantrum as misbehavior.
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.720
Well, you're gonna handle it differently and you're gonna feel differently about it.
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:13.200
But if you think of it as normal and healthy and just a stage we need to get through until our child develops the words to express their feelings, well, you're gonna be able to stay calmer through the tantrum.
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:14.399
And that's it.
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:21.519
There's no magic formulas, just understanding about brain development and responding accordingly.
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:26.559
Parenting is hard, and it's the most important job there is.
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.480
But you don't have to do it alone.
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.840
That's where the Big Hearted School of Parenting comes in.
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:36.000
It's the only membership just for parents of young kids.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:41.600
You'll find real-life tools, expert guidance, and a community that truly gets it.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:42.720
Plus, there's Dr.
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.120
Katherine Chatbot where you can get 24-7 advice.
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:53.440
Loving your child is natural, but parenting them is a skill, and we're here to help.
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.039
Thank you for listening.
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.240
Keep up the good work, and I'll see you next week.
