If you’ve been googling “is this normal toddler behavior?” this reel is for you. The behaviors you saw, They’re signs your child’s brain is growing. Toddlers are in a stage where their emotional brain is developing faster than their thinking brain. They feel everything intensely, but they don’t yet have the wiring to pause, regulate, or choose a better response, so it comes out as resistance, big emotions, & confusing behavior. And yes… it’s exhausting. So what does actually help? It doesn’t mean fixing the behavior. It means supporting the nervous system behind it. When they say no to everything 👉🏻 offer choices instead of commands. “Blue cup or red cup?” gives them control without chaos. When they push you away then cling 👉🏻 stay emotionally available. “I’m right here when you’re ready.” That builds secure attachment. When they do the opposite of what you ask 👉🏻 model the action instead of repeating yourself. Toddlers learn through doing, not lectures. When they melt down 👉🏻 get low, soften your voice, slow your breathing. Your calm becomes their calm. When they laugh when you’re upset 👉🏻 name the feeling instead of punishing it. “That feels uncomfortable, huh? I’m here.” This is why yelling, time-outs, and threats don’t work long-term, they shut down the nervous system instead of teaching it. Regulated adults raise regulated kids. And you’re already doing more than you think 🤍 👩‍👧‍👦 Share this with a parent who needs this reminder today. 📌 Save for later. #gentleparenting #parentingtips #toddlermomlife #raisingkindhumans #parentingadvice
