Parenting Toddlers

Toddlerhood (roughly 12–36 months) is a period of explosive brain development during which children are biologically wired to push limits, test independence, and express overwhelming emotions they cannot yet regulate. This course translates current developmental neuroscience and attachment theory into practical daily strategies: you will learn why tantrums happen at the neurological level, how to set firm-yet-loving boundaries, and how predictable routines build the secure base your child needs to thrive. Every lesson is grounded in peer-reviewed research from Dan Siegel's interpersonal neurobiology, Diana Baumrind's authoritative parenting model, and Mary Ainsworth's attachment framework.
