Discipline & setting limits can be tricky.

On one end, we want to curb the misbehavior and increase cooperation with our toddler or preschooler but we also want to do so in a way that’s respectful and cuts back on the tears and tantrums.

Really, this comes down to TWO big things:

1. Managing our expectations of our child and making sure our expectations are aligned with their developmental level
2. Coming from the understanding that all feelings are valid (both our child’s and our own). There’s really no such thing as “bad” feelings. They just are what they are.

But this is much harder said than done, so I want to walk you through this process.
