It's Never About the Watermelon: What's Really Behind Your Child's Behavior (And What Actually Helps)
About this episode
Janet discusses the underlying issues behind a toddler's challenging behavior and offers a simple shift that can help parents manage these situations.
When a toddler throws his fork, tips over his bowl, and falls apart over the wrong-sized watermelon pieces — what is really going on? In this episode, Janet responds to a mom of a two-and-a-half-year-old with a new baby just weeks away who describes her son's throwing, hitting, and increasingly impossible-to-please demands. She writes, "This completely breaks my heart and really stresses me out." Janet shares the one simple but counterintuitive shift that can change almost everything.
