If you’ve ever wondered whether your toddler should be able to listen, wait, share, or calm down—and felt frustrated when they couldn’t—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, Dr. Cathryn talks about how unrealistic expectations quietly create power struggles, tantrums, and exhaustion—and how small mindset shifts can make parenting feel much easier.

You’ll learn:

  • Why many common expectations don’t match toddler brain development

  • How adjusting expectations can prevent tantrums and power struggles

  • What to realistically expect from 2-, 3-, and 4-year-olds

  • How a big-hearted lens helps you stay calm while holding boundaries
